Reader's Theater Prep: February 20, 2018

Focus: How do we use Reader's Theater to understand, analyze, and create meaning?

Reminder: Any make-up work from the last 6 weeks is due today.

1. Warming up with three good things and a quick overview of your Reader's Theater Rubric

2. Working with your acting companies to prepare your scene for Reader's Theater

• If needed, reread the plot summary of Fences
• Work on your symbolic choice.
• Create Google slides that pose a Level 2 or 3 question and help us think deeply about your scene.
• Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse until you get the rhythm of the scene. You should know how to pronounce the words, when to pause, when to shout, whisper, etc.
• Stage your scene. Avoid the pitfall of everybody standing awkwardly in a row.
• Complete your Project Work Log.

3. Wrapping up with your project work logs and goal-setting for tonight: What needs to get done  so that you're ready to present on Wednesday?

HW:
1. Performances will begin Wednesday, February 21 (tomorrow). Make sure you bring in your props and costumes, and place your Google slide in your shared folder.

2. We will have an open-note assessment on verb tense on Thursday.
