Inspirational Speeches

Period 3: Please take 5 minutes to watch the following video and take a look at the criteria for your presentation today:
REMEMBER: 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, tone, and rehearses these choices to deliver a solid performance.
Please get into the following small groups to practice performing/reading your inspirational speeches:

Group Q: Kordae, Victoria, Kemani
Group X: Jenna, Isobel, Akhiyar
Group Y: Jesziah, Ja'Miah, Javant, Pahz
Group Z: Raeona, Britney, Joshua, Turon

If your name is not listed above, it is because you did not turn in a speech draft when it was due. Instead of practicing, please complete your work alone and practice the inspirational speech when you have finished. Please don't bother other groups who did the work they were supposed to have completed!

End of Period 3; Period 4: We will go to the Ensemble Theater and listen to your inspirational speeches.

HOMEWORK: None.
