Performing Fences, Day 2: February 22, 2018

Focus: How can performance help us analyze a text?

1. Warming up an open-note, open-friend assessment on verb tenses

2. Celebrating a fantastic example of your Fences journal entries

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: End of Act 1(scenes 3, 4, and possibly 5)

HW:
1. 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.

2. Make sure you spent 20 minutes (you should have done this last weekend) researching important events on your character's timeline. You will need detailed information about your character's world for tomorrow's writing exercise.
