Performance Assessment - CA1
Individual Performance: Animal to human character
Choose an animal, bird, fish or insect to explore and develop into a human character. Find human equivalents to the creature's natural behaviour. Present your performance as an animal first. Establish the animal and its behaviour in its natural habitat. This should last about 2 minutes. Finish in the neutral position. From this position, establish your human character and respond to your environment in the context of the scenario you have placed your character in. Find a reason for the character to say "What do you mean by saying that?" and deliver the line with the intended effect.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THAT I ADDED 'USE OF VOICE' AS ONE OF THE ASSESSMENT CRITERIA FOR PERFORMANCE SKILLS.

Speech Exercises
Hello everyone!

As promised, here are some speech exercises which you can try at home to help you with articulation and clarity in speaking.



This was the best way for me to upload the document, you just have to click it, change the orientation before printing (if needed). It's really too much to copy, so I suggest Afiq print this in school or ask a favour from anyone kind enough in class to help >.<

***Remember first thing we're doing in class next week would be a presentation of "This Cat" poem by everyone! Looking forward to that, enjoy!
