Please work on your collaborative poems. Try to write some lines and come up with a 1st draft with your collaborative group. Next week we will be visiting the theatres and practicing your collaboration, so having a "script" from which to work is essential.
4th period please go to room 240 to perform our oral interpretations.
ORAL INTERPRETATION is the process by which a speaker performs literature aloud for an audience.
Some advice:
1. In order to be effective performing Oral Interpretation you should UNDERSTAND your selected piece of literature.
2. Know your speaker - writers write with a TONE and VOICE. You need to bring these qualities to your own speech and vocal quality when performing. The better you know WHO is speaking the poem, the easier it is to convey meaning.
3. Know who your fictional speaker is speaking to - the better you know the occasion and reason your speaker is speaking and to whom your speaker is speaking to, the easier it is to convey to a real audience.
4. Know the setting (or the WHERE) your speaker is when speaking.
This introductory creative writing course at the School of the Arts (Rochester, NY) will introduce students to such topics as acting, performance poetry, speech communication, oral interpretation, and writing for a public forum. Writing for Publication will provide students with an understanding of the publishing world, encourage frequent submissions to various publications & contests, and develop word processing and design skills.
