Preparing for our Presentation

You have all worked so hard! Here are some pictures of the rehearsal we had here in the library. Can you guess which civilizations these students portray? Can you guess the perspective of poetry these students will voice?

































Remember that when presenting, Ms. Papoff will be assessing you on your use of choral dramatization. Here is a checklist to keep in mind that comes from Drama and Dance/Movement: A Beginner's Handbook, p. 163
  • TEMPO (variations of fast and slow)
  • VOLUME (variations of loud and soft)
  • COLOUR (atmosphere, mood, feeling behind the words)
  • RHYTHM (clapping, stamping, patsching, vocal patterns)
  • VOICE (keywords, many voices, single voices)
  • MOVEMENT (in unison, in contrast to stillness)
