Oral Interpretation (Paperback, 3rd Revised edition)

From the classroom to public performance, "Oral Interpretation" will help your students bring poetry, prose, and drama to life through a series of interesting and varied exercises. Students will discover and interpret a wide range of classic and modern literature, from children's literature to the literature of other cultures, from Greek drama to contemporary poetry, from great speeches to ensemble pieces. "Oral Interpretation" will help students develop interpretation skills - such as physicalizing metaphors and idioms, acquiring vocal agility and quality, and expanding sense memory - to enhance their performances.
