What  is  a  play?    

A  play  is  a  story  about  different  characters.  Characters  can  be  people,  animals,  or  objects.  It  just  depends  on  what  the  story  is  about.  Plays  usually  take  place  on  a  stage  in  front  of  an  audience.      Let’s  read  an  example  of  a  play!      

“Little  Orphan  Annie”    

This  is  a  play  about  the  children  living  in  an  orphanage.  Annie  always  has  to  do  the  work  for  the  other  children,  but  she  likes  to  scare  them  to  get  revenge.      When  we  read  a  play,  we  only  read  the  lines.  The  parts  in  blue  are  actions,  something  we  do,  but  do  not  say  out  loud.
