My Notes
Unpacking Embedded Assessment 2
Read the assignment for Embedded Assessment 2: Performing Shakespeare.
Work collaboratively to prepare and present a Reader’s Theater performance of a scene from Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. Your performance should have a clear beginning, middle, and end.
Work with your class to paraphrase the expectations and create a graphic organizer to use as a visual reminder of the required concepts (what you need to know) and skills (what you need to do). Copy the graphic organizer for future reference. After each activity, use this graphic to guide reflection about what you have learned
and what you still need to learn in order to be successful on the Embedded Assessment.
4. Quickwrite: How has your understanding of Shakespeare changed since the beginning of this unit?
Performance Practice
5. Choose a poem that you like or that your teacher suggests. Read the poem several times to yourself and then read it aloud to your classmates. Reflect on the experience by answering the following questions:
• What was enjoyable about reading the poem?
• What was difficult about reading the poem? How might you work to improve in this area for the next performance?

Read and Research
To support your learning in the second half of the unit, identify another play that looks interesting to you. You might choose a play
by William Shakespeare as a way to become familiar with Shakespeare’s work and language. Discuss your choice with a partner. Create a reading plan for the text you have chosen.
