  7. You will read the story once as a class and then on your own. As you read you should identify the different characters by underlining the dialogue. List the characters in the margin.

  8. Task: turn “The Lemon Orchard” into a Readers Theatre performance

  9. What is Readers’ Theatre? Reader’s theater is minimal theater in support of literature and reading. There are many styles of reader’s theater, but nearly all share these features: •Narration serves as the framework of dramatic presentation. •No full stage sets. If used at all, sets are simple and suggestive. •No full costumes. If used at all, costumes are partial and suggestive, or neutral and uniform. •No full memorization. Scripts are used openly in performance.

  11. As you read the story: Underline any imagery Identify important verbs and adjectives Underline any dialogue? In what way is this revealing? Highlight descriptions of the men and descriptions of the “hotnot” Who do we sympathize with? Identify ways in which La Guma establishes and builds the tension. What is the irony of this situation? How are race and education dealt with in this story?
