Rehearse and Improve

Look at the peer feedback you received last lesson.

You will now have some time to work on making the suggested improvements.

You should also do a final rehearsal of the Jabberwocky poem.

The group altered the tone of their voice for the warning in stanza 2.

The group all spoke together for the first and last stanzas to emphasize the fact that they were repeated.

The group need to learn their words more so they don’t need to look at them.
