Reader's Theatre in Grade V- Students enacting scripts as leaders; Totallitarian Regime verses Democracy

Students enacted and performed on the script in Reader's Theater on two different types of government; Totalitarian and Democracy to get a better understanding on their current unit. In Democracy, the Mayor with its Councillors put forward a motion to reject the request to build the flats in the nature reserve, whereas in Totalitarian, the leader instructs what to do or not to do, for him others opinion is not important. The students felt living in Totalitarian Regime is not easy, the citizens are deprived of their basic rights.
