extend understanding of oral texts, including increasingly complex texts, by making connections between the ideas in them and personal knowledge, experience, and insights; other texts; and the world around them (e.g., compare their own delivery of a Shakespearean monologue with deliveries by their classmates or in professional productions; use role play and drama to explore ideas, emotions, and issues presented in oral texts; listen to a professionally recorded play and then explain how a character’s struggle resonated with a personal experience)
