Strategy 3: Establishing Intimacy with the Text through Performative Embodiment

My last strategy entails having students memorize an excerpt of any literature examined for the purpose of this curriculum unit. Memorization and oral interpretation of the literature cultivates comprehension as well as fluent and prosodic reading skills. Performing in front of their peers will also build students' speaking confidence before an audience of their peers.
