Reader’s Theatre Presentation (self-assessment)………………… 164
Передмова
Одним із найактуальніших аспектів діяльності вчителя англійської мови є заохочення учнів до розвитку їхніх мовленнєвих навичок через позакласну роботу.
Даний посібник містить збірку казок для читацького театру.
Читацький театр – це не вистава, яка потребує тривалої підготовки і вивчення ролей напам’ять. Стаючи учасниками театру, учні залучаються до процесу читання текстів казок, де кожна роль виділена окремим кольором. Вистави читацького театру вимагають мінімум костюмів та максимум експресії.
За такої умови процес читання стає цікавим, а текст живим.
Вважаємо, що даний посібник полегшить роботу вчителя в напрямку формування позитивної мотивації до вивчення іноземної мови та створення ситуації успіху.

Narrator: Once upon a time, in an island there lived all the feelings and emotions: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to them that the island would sink! So all constructed boats and left. Except for Love. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a boat.
Love: Richness, can you take me with you?
Richness: Sorry Love, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat and so there is no place here for you.
Narrator: Love next asked Vanity who was also sailing by. Vanity was also ready with the same answer.
Vanity: I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat.
Narrator: Sadness was close by.
Love: Sadness, take me along with you.
Sadness: Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!
Narrator: Sadness said in a sullen voice. Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so preoccupied with her happiness that she did not even hear when Love called her. Suddenly, there was a voice.
Voice: Come, Love, I will take you.
Narrator: It was an elder. An overjoyed Love jumped up into the boat and in the process forgot to ask where they were going. When they arrived at a dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed to the elder, Love asked Knowledge another elder.
Love: Who helped me?
Narrator: Asked Love.
Knowledge: It was Time
Narrator: Knowledge answered.
Love: Time?
Narrator: Thought Love. Then, as if reading the face of Love, Knowledge answered.

Author: By and by a Fox came running up and saw the Cat.
Fox: Who are you?
Cat: I am Sir Cat – O – Puss.
Fox: Why don’t we get married, Sir Cat-O-Puss? I’ll be a good wife to you.
Author: The Cat agreed to marry the Fox. And the Fox took him with her house. She tried very hard to please the Cat. One day the Fox met a Rabbit.

Fox: You mustn’t do that. I have Sir Cat – O –Puss, living in my house now. He might claw you to death.
Narrator: The Rabbit ran off.
Author: Rabbit told the wolf, the Bear and the Wild Boar, what the Fox had said.
Narrator: They all got together and began to think, how they were to meet Sir Cat- O –Puss.
All together: Let’s invite him to dinner!
Wolf: I will go and get some meat for a borshch.
Bear: And I will bring some honey for a dessert.
Author: They brought all these good things and set to cooking them. But they couldn’t agree as to which of them was to go and invite Sir Cat – O – Puss.
Bear: What will I do, if I’m forced to run for him? I will never be able to do it. Boar I’m rather clumsy, too. I’m afraid.
Wolf: And I’m old and can’t see to well.
Author: So, there left only the Rabbit
Narrator: He ran quickly to the Fox’s house.
Fox: What do you want, Rabbit?
Rabbit: Please, Fox, the Wolf, the Bear, and I, too, would very much like to have you and Sir Cat – O – Puss, dinning with us today.
Fox: That’s nice of you! I’ll certainly come, and Sir Cat – O – Puss will come with me. Only the four of you must hide, or he might claw you all to death!
Narrator: The Rabbit ran back.
Author: Rabbit told his friends about it. How frightened they were! The Bear climbed a tree, the Wolf sat behind a bush, the rabbit hit under it, and the Boar tried to hide beneath a pile of brushwood.
Narrator: The Fox arrived with Sir Cat – O – Puss at her side. She led him to the table.
Four friends: Has there ever been a beast so fierce! Nothing seems to be enough for him. He might eat us up too!
Narrator: Sir Cat – O – Puss climbed up onto the table and began eating the food. When he had had fill, he curled up and fell asleep.
Author: The Boar was hiding beneath a pile of brushwood, with only his tail out, and a mosquito flew up just then and bit it. The Boar couldn’t hide himself, he twisted his tail, and Cat – O – Puss, who thought it was a mouse, rushed at it and caught it between his teeth. The Boar sprang up and ran away as fast as his legs could carry.
Narrator: Sir Cat – O – Puss leapt up into the tree, close to where the Bear was sitting. Seeing him, the bear climbed higher, but branches broke under him, and he tumbled down straight onto the Wolf’s back and nearly crushed him! The animals jumped up and rushed away.
Four friends: Sir Cat – O – Puss is small, but he nearly ate us up!

Narrator: The Fox arrived with Sir Cat – O – Puss at her side. She led him to the table.
Four friends: Has there ever been a beast so fierce! Nothing seems to be enough for him. He might eat us up too!

The Boar sprang up and ran away as fast as his legs could carry.
Narrator: Sir Cat – O – Puss leapt up into the tree, close to where the Bear was sitting. Seeing him, the bear climbed higher, but branches broke under him, and he tumbled down straight onto the Wolf’s back and nearly crushed him! The animals jumped up and rushed away.

Narrator: once on a time, in a cozy little house, a little red hen lived with her chickens. The little red hen worked very hard taking care of her house and her family.
She had three friends—a Duck, a Dog, and a Cat—who lived very near her. Every day she watched her three friends playing, but the little red hen didn't have time to play.
She started each day early in the morning. First she cooked breakfast for all her chickens. Then she made the beds and tended her garden. She cooked the meals, washed the clothes, and scrubbed the floors. She worked hard from morning till night.
But her three lazy friends—the Dog, the Cat, and the Duck—never seemed to work at all. They went for long walks in the sunshine, lay about in the soft grass, and spent their time reading stories and playing games.
One day, as the little red hen was scratching about in the yard looking for a nice beetle for her dinner, she came upon a grain of wheat. It gave her an idea.
Hen: who will plant this grain of wheat?
Narrator: she asked of the Dog, the Duck, and the Cat.
Dog: not I.
Narrator: said the Dog.
Duck: not I.
Narrator: said the Duck.
Cat: not I.
Narrator: said the Cat. So, she did. The grain of wheat sprouted, and it grew and grew until it was tall and golden and ready to cut.
Hen: who will cut the wheat?
Narrator: she asked of the Dog, the duck, and the Cat.
Dog: not I.
Narrator: said the Dog.
Duck: not I.
Narrator: said the Duck.
Cat: not I.
Narrator: said the cat. So she did it herself. Finally, the wheat was cut and ready to be ground into flour.
Hen: who will take the wheat to the mill?
Narrator: she asked of the Dog, the Duck, and the Cat.
Dog: not I.
Narrator: said the Dog.
Duck: not I.
Narrator: said the Duck.
Cat: not I.
Narrator: said the Cat.
Hen: then I will.
Narrator: and she did! Soon a little sack of fine flour came back from the mill.
Hen: who will make the flour into bread?
Narrator: she asked of the Dog, the Duck, and the Cat.
Dog: not I.
Narrator: said the Dog.
Duck: not I.
Narrator: said the Duck.
Cat: not I.
Narrator: said the Cat.
Hen: then I will do it myself.
Narrator: and she did. When the bread was baked, the little red hen took it from the oven. It was the most beautiful, crusty brown loaf she had ever seen.
Hen: who will eat the bread?
Narrator: she asked of the Dog, the Duck, and the Cat.
Dog: I will!
Narrator: said the Dog.
Duck: I will!
Narrator: said the Duck.
Cat: I will!
Narrator: said the Cat.
Hen: oh, no you won't. I found the grain of wheat. I planted the wheat. I reaped the ripe grain. I took it to the mill. I baked the bread. I shall eat it myself!
