Act out the story of the feuding Jamestown colonists and Powhatan Indians with this Spanish-adapted historical script! Students will learn how a marriage between Pocahontas and John Rolfe bridges the gap between these two groups, bringing peace amongst the Indians and colonists. This Spanish script features differentiation and Spanish language learner strategies. Teachers can assign specific roles to their readers based on everyone's current reading level.
This feature allows everyone to get involved in the same activity and feel successful. Spanish-speaking readers can gain confidence in their reading fluency through performance, regardless of their current reading ability. Students will practice interacting cooperatively, reading aloud, and using expressive voices and gestures to better tell the story.

This dynamic, colorful script is the perfect tool for a classroom of Spanish-speaking readers.
