The Performance Plan

No one should go into an oral interpretation without a performance plan. Your performance plan will be the difference between a polished oral interpretation and a lackluster oral reading.

Step One: Answer the following questions in no more than three sentences each:

1. WHO is the speaker/narrator of the piece? Describe his/her personality. 2. WHO are other characters in the selection? Note personalities. 3. WHAT is the main action of the scene? 4. WHERE does the action take place? 5. WHEN does the action take place? 6. WHY does this scene exist in the novel? What is the message the author attempts to portray?
