Growth Versus Fixed Mindset Reader's Theater SEL Play

In this nine page reader's theater sel play, students will learn about growth versus fixed mindset. The play is called "The Epic Failure Club" and has some humor, lessons, and learning target points about not giving up, the power of yet, and getting through challenges. This is a fun way to teach SEL and is different than other lesson modalities. There are 5 speaking roles and if you want you could add a sixth role as the narrator. There are moments in the play in which the actors freeze and ask relevant questions to the audience (in other words, the class), so that the audience stays engaged and learning too. There is not an expectation to memorize this play. The goal is to have students reading, working on fluency and acting as well as learning about a very important topic about moving through challenges. I have 4 other reader's theater scripts in my store. The other topics are cliques versus groups, good sportsmanship versus bragging, friendly versus hurtful teasing, and rumors and gossip. You could download all 5 scripts and put on a play that will involve all the students in your class (depending on the size of your class).
