12. Notice the stage directions in your monologue (the text in italics). How will your group follow these directions to deliver the monologue? What additional stage directions will you use? Write them beside your lines.
13. Rehearse your presentation with your group. Remember, when you are delivering a monologue from someone else’s perspective, you are adopting a persona, which means you should imagine that you are that person. As you rehearse:
• Read your lines several times to become familiar with them so you can deliver the lines fluently.
• Practice delivering your lines multiple times, using a different volume, rate, pitch, inflection, and tone to see what works best, and then choose and mark what you will use for your presentation.
• Practice using eye contact, facial expressions, and movement appropriate for your lines.
During Presentations
14. When it is your turn, deliver your oral interpretation of the monologue. Remember to make eye contact and to deliver your lines with expression.
15. As you listen to others’ presentations, make notes about the ideas, structure, and use of language that helped you understand their interpretations.
After Presentations
16. Reflect on the preparation process and your presentation:
a. Are you satisfied with your presentation? Explain.
b. What helped you plan and prepare your presentation? Did anything interfere with your planning and preparation? Explain.
c. How did your presentation skills improve? What do you still need to work on?
d. What are your goals for next time?
