Postures & Expressions

Ginger Dempsey explains the use of body postures and facial expressions in telling a story. She does note to her students that they need to work on these features, as they tend to mimic one another. If this happens, you might try to have one student at a time work on a posture. The cue cards work well for getting students to try out different facial expressions.
