SPEAK PRESENTATION
• Dramatic reading of a passage• Explanation of your passage – what does it
mean? What does it reveal? What connections can you make?
• Visual Aid – representing significant ideas in the passage. Symbolic images, not just literal
I watch myself in the mirror across the room. Ugh. My hair is completely hidden under the comforter. I look for the shapes in my face. Could I put a face in my tree, like a dryad from Greek mythology? Two muddy-circle eyes
under black-dash eyebrows, piggy nose nostrils, and chewed-up horror of a mouth. Definitely not a dryad
face. I can’t stop biting my lips. It looks like my mouth belongs to someone else, someone I don’t even know.
I get out of bed and take down the mirror. I put it in the back of my closet, facing the wall.
