My Notes
Reader’s Theater Performance
With your group, you will next prepare to perform this drama for your classmates. Reader’s Theater is different from ordinary drama because instead of moving around on a stage, each group begins by standing together with backs facing the audience. When it is time to deliver lines, each character, in turn, will face the audience to deliver his or her lines. Each group must figure out a way to indicate the end of the performance.
12. You will be responsible for preparing to read a role in the play. Complete a close reading of the drama. Mark the text by highlighting punctuation, italicized words, and strong connotative diction (word choices) spoken by your character, and decide how these determine the tone of voice you will use. Write a precise word next to each of your character’s lines to describe the tone. Also, note how you can use rate, inflection, and facial expressions to support the tone.
13. As you reread the play, use the graphic organizer on the next page to record your character analysis. Some categories may not apply, depending on your character.
