Effective performance is based on a few things:
1. Preparation (rehearsal) -- knowing what you are saying and why.
2. Voice (how you sound: volume, pacing, pitch, tone, elocution, and appropriateness of voice)
3. Character (how you portray a character both vocally and physically)
4. Energy
5. Making choices. A good performer makes deliberate choices about voice, character, energy and rehearses these choices to deliver a solid performance.
Today, for the first 20 minutes during period 3, rehearse your poem when you have scored or marked it. You will need to turn in your poem draft at the end of class today and it should be marked up appropriately. Please rehearse and prepare for our presentation.
You will be graded on your performance. In addition to eye contact, volume, and enunciation, I am grading you on how effective your TONE of VOICE is for the character you are portraying. You should sound natural, as if the character were actually speaking the words in the poem.
As we present, I will be providing you with performance feedback. This is helpful to pay attention and keep track of since you will be presenting a piece of your own work at the Coffeehouse Presentation on November 15 at 7:00.
HOMEWORK: None. Complete Spoon River if you haven't yet done so. If you are missing any of the writing assignments, please complete them as well.
