Very nice work yesterday. All your essays are already graded.
If you were here and did not post (or did not put the essay on my drive), please make sure you see me asap. My grades close tomorrow.
FRIDAY: Spoon River Performances.
do not forget your prop, which may be either literal or metaphorical
When you perform, consider the following.
pacing -vary you speed to convey emotional sincerity
audibility - everyone must be able to hear you clearly
intonation- what words or syllables should be emphasized
articulation- avoid swallowing or garbling your words
body language- play your posture and overall body position to reflect your character. What are your hands doing? Are you sitting or standing or leaning against the wall, chewing on a piece of hay?
facial gestures / eye contact- these are key in engaging your audience
And you should have your piece flawlessly memorized.
PRACTICE IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR..OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
THIS WILL COUNT IN THE 30% CATEGORY.
FRIDAY IS THE LAST DAY TO TURN IN VOCABULARY 8

ReplyDeletemy essay thing for the stories that i couldnt post yesterday
ReplyDeleteMaggie Girl of the Streets was all about the harsh treatment of women, and children how families had tiny little apartments called tenements. Maggie was considered a “devil” and her mother didn’t care about her until the day she died. How The Other Half Lives was also about the rough living conditions and how women worked long strenuous hours for little money. They cycle of debt never ended because, the little bit of money they had went to paying rent and trying to put a little bit of food on the table. Children who should have been in school getting an education were spending their days in factories trying to help support their families. Both stories had several similarities and showed why living in the 19th century was hard.
