Reader's Theatre Prep: February 20, 2019

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

1. Warming up with 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, finish reading your assigned scene aloud.

• 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. TOMORROW: Performances will begin. 

• Bring in your props and costumes, and place your Google slide in your shared folder.

• Make sure your Connect, Extend, Challenge entry for your scene is posted on your blog.

2. FRIDAY: Quiz on Fences vocabulary (Quizlet)
