Public speaking

• You place your own laptop on the tables in the front
• You make sure that at least your torso is visible so I can see your facial expressions, hand gestures and potential movements 
• Before you start you show your speech cards to me
• You have 3 minutes for your speech (between 2.5 and 3.5)
• I ask two students to ask questions
• Use rubric when preparing!

It is in your interest that we make this work :-) Questions?

Story theatre

Characters stand back and comment on the action as well as take part in it	Lightning and sound are important
Highly episodic - action takes place in a variety of places	The audience is often remembered that they are witnessing a theatre production rather than real life
Little set is used and few props to save time	The audience is expected to use their imagination
Acting is physical - action conveys a sense of place, atmosphere, time, event
