This first half of B30 continues to study the Human Experience – one of the most essential parts of that is our interactions with each other in the form of relationships. One of the most obvious reasons why the entertainment industry is so popular and financially successful is because the audience is drawn to unique and complicated relationships between characters.

Pg 1: Big Ideas – choose any 7 to respond to. You can write out responses, type them into a shared document, or audio record them and share them. Alone or with a partner(s).
Pg 2: Concept Mapping – Collaboration in Microsoft Whiteboard
Using Microsoft Whiteboard on your laptops, you can join in online groups to develop these concept maps together.
The Whiteboard is connected to your Sunwest email account. Login with that info.
One person in the group can Create a new Whiteboard and Share it directly to a Breakout Room in Teams ELA B30. Then anyone in that Breakout Room can access and contribute to the Whiteboard.
(Post to Teams > Select Team > Select Breakout Room.)
Or you can Share it to someone’s Sunwest Email address.

Your next assignment in ELA B30 is toselect a poem of appropriate difficulty level and at least 15 lines and to dramatically perform it for the class.
Ways of completing this assignment:
If you’d like to book time to perform your poetry reading live in private, like during a lunch hour or before or after school, we could see if that’s possible.
Another way of performing your poetry reading would be to record it. It would involve you memorizing your poem, practicing a dramatic reading of it, considering the appropriate use of body language gestures, eye contact to the camera, and possibly even background effects (setting, music, lighting) to enhance your presentation.
With the recorded method, you have a lot more control over the elements and clarity of your assignment; if you make a mistake, you start over. That’s a pretty big benefit to this choice. If you did consider the recorded version, use an example like the video below(or others shared online) to help you picture what that could look like. You may have seen this video before, as I’ve used it as an example of dramatic poetry reading in other grades!
To help you get a sense of poems that would be suitable for this assignment, I’m going to give you a few links of ones that would work well for your choice.
You could also consider whether any poems shared in the Google Doc for your CC activity in Section A3 would be suitable and interesting to you.
