Structure your oral
1. Introduction:
Briefly state what happens in this scene.
Place your extract in its context. Where is it in relation to the plot of the play or novel.
Who are involved in the scene? Which themes are prevalent in the scene? Identify only major ones that you will come back to in the Body.
State the significance of the scene and why it is significant (purpose). When identifying the purpose mention audience.
2. Body:
Identify different aspects of the text, especially cultural references and stylistic/literary devices with which the author or playwright tried to achieve his/her purpose and reach his/her audience. Comment on the effect of the different literary devices.
How is the abstract structured, is it chronological, does it have change in tone?
3. Conclusion:
Make sure your short presentation has a conclusion. In this conclusion you can state that the language used was very effective as shown before and that this scene ties into a later scene where the audience or characters acquires more knowledge or insight.
Remember:
It lasts a maximum of 10 minutes.
The presentation doesn’t need to be exhaustive.
Stick to the extract for examples, don’t be led into temptation to give long summaries of other parts of the novel or play.
