Activity 8
              • While comic monologues
               may be a popular option
               among your students (indeed,
               we model using such a type
               of monologue), you should
               encourage a variety of
               monologues. The strategies
               we give to improvise a comic
               monologue are almost the same
               for any monologue subgenre
               (except for the content).
              • Be sure students give
               reasons for their choice.
               As in other practices, this
               activity is intended to foster
               metacognition. Giving their
               reasons is an excellent way for
               students to think about how their
               emotional motivation relates
               to the rational part of their
               decision. This, in turn, makes the
               class interesting. As stated in the
               English syllabus, it is important
               to make your students’ interests
               and likes the starting point for
               any activity, which is the main
               reason why the book proposes
               a model, but you and your
               students make the final call on
               the product.
