Description: This new book by Nancy Polette offers 49 short biographical readers theatre plays consisting of three performers discussing the same life, but with slightly different information. It requires students to use their critical thinking, listening, and research skills to determine which of the three tales is true. Each play is accompanied by a short reading list of coordinated children's books and a student research activity.
The plays feature women from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including minority group representatives. Molly Brown, Barbara Jordan, Rosa Parks, Sally Ride, Jane Addams, and Deborah Sampson are among those represented.
