…..and in room 11 we are but players!  Below are our final projects for 3 of the 4 plays our literature circles read this week.  Students, please view the play then log into edmodo and give yourself a grade using the rubric that is posted for the assignment.  Parents, please enjoy watching your children perform.  They worked very hard!  This assignment counts as a alternative test grade for this book.  An alternative test is an assessment that is different from the traditional paper and pencil tests. 

For this task, they had to choose a scene from their play, rehearse it to build up their fluency and confidence, present it to the class, and finally self-evaluate their own performance using the performance rubric.  The rubric includes the following categories:  Fluency (how smoothly they read their parts), interaction with other characters (did they just stand and read or did they actually act it out), volume, and participation.  I am very proud of each of the groups!
