Performing Fences, Day 1: February 21, 2018

Focus: How can performance help us analyze a text?

1. Warming up a quick game in verb tense: Find your perfect match!

2. Giving you an overview of your journal entries for Fences

On your personal blog each night, you will need to complete the following:

• Respond thoughtfully and specifically to the Level 2 or 3 question posed by the Acting Companies that performed that day (3-5 sentences). You may be able to do this in class.

• Complete a Connect, Extend, Challenge entry for one specific line from EACH SCENE performed that day. The line can be spoken aloud or from the scene descriptions. This will be homework.

• These should be published on your personal blog before you walk into class the next day. Be sure to label clearly in the title of your post which scenes each post is addressing.

3. Enjoying Reader's Theater: 1.2 and hopefully 1.3

HW:
Complete your first Reader's Theater journal entries for the scenes performed in class today. See the full description under #2 on today's class blog.
