During period 3 (20 minutes): please gather in groups of 2 or 3. Using your prepared speech cards, peform your speech for your "audience". Get the feedback from your peer(s) on performance skills: are you speaking too fast, is the speech understandable, does the speech hook the listener, can the speaker make appropriate eye contact, what body position, gesture or facial expressions might best convey meaning, etc.
After "rehearsal" we are going to brainstorm some ideas for a horror story. With your group of 1 or 2, spend about 5 minutes coming up with things that scare or worry you as a human being. Make a list in your journal.
After you have a list, pick one fear that you would like to focus on in a story.
Await further instructions in class.
Homework: Please read the articles we don't finish in class. Please finish reading The Thief of Always or Stephen King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes. You should completely finish by the end of this week.
