Activity Overview
In this activity, students present their monologues to the class. Students in the audience make inferences and attempt to determine which work of art the speaker is personifying.
Before the Activity
See the attached Activity PDF file for detailed instructions for this activity.
Print the appropriate pages from the Activity for your class.
Install the LearningCheck™ and NoteFolio™ Apps on the students' graphing calculators following the attached instructions.
Review the basics of public speaking (transparency) as well as the rubric you will be using to assess the monologues. Remind students that they will be participating in a guessing game. They must listen closely to each student's monologue for clues. Advise students to hold their guesses until the speaker has completed their presentation.
