Unpacking Embedded Assessment 2
Closely read the assignment for Embedded Assessment 2.
Your assignment is to work collaboratively with a partner to plan, rehearse, and
perform a dialogue from William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.
Write down five things you believe you willl need to know in order to complete this assignment successfully. Then, work with your class to paraphrase the expectations in the Scoring Guide 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 in this part of the unit, use the graphic you have created to guide reflection about what you have learned and what you still need to learn in order to be successful on the Embedded Assessment.
Making Oral Presentations
Whether you are presenting a speech or interpreting a scene from a Shakespeare drama, all presentations are a performance. All performances have certain elements in common, such as needing to appeal to the audience and be interesting.
3. What live performances have you attended? Think about school performances, musical concerts, plays, and so on. Name one or more performances, if possible, and tell whether you thought the performance was enjoyable and successful
or not.
4. Now think about a performance you judged to be enjoyable and successful. Name as many factors as possible that you think would contribute to making a successful performance.
5. Discuss your responses with a partner or small group, and add to the elements you listed above to create a definitive list of factors.

Read and Respond
To support your learning in the second half of the unit, you may want to choose
a drama or novel in which characters are concealing something about their identity. Ask your teacher
or librarian for suggestions. Use your Reader/Writer Notebook to create a reading plan and respond to any questions, comments, or reactions you might have to your reading.
