Description
1. The students will choose a
well-known personality from Canada’s history.
2. The students will research and
find a series of facts about this well-known personality.
3. The students will then write an
oration as if the well-known personality were speaking. The personality should
not reveal a name; rather, start with obscure autobiographical details and move
toward the more obvious.
4. These orations should be
performed behind a large sheet. A bright light should be placed behind the
sheet. The student performing the oration will stand between the bright light
and the hanging large sheet. This will create a shadow of the speaker on the
sheet. Therefore, the student should prepare a silhouette that reflects the
well-known personality.
5. At the end of each oration, the
student will ask the audience, “Who am I?” At this point the audience
should be given an opportunity to guess. Once the audience has guessed or given
up, the student may wish to share any additional information about the
well-known personality or the student may want to share.
