Narrative Revising and Editing Checklist (Self and Peer)
This checklist is used after students have written narrative stories. They will go through their stories with the checklist independently first. Then they will have a classmate use the same checklist to read their story. At the end, the peer can leave comments with advice and feedback. This has been helpful in building independence during writing, rather than having a line waiting for me to read their stories!

Although I have used these scripts in my First grade classroom, they would also work well for secondary Spanish classes.
Little Red Riding Hood is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students who are
