22 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, March 13, 1990 Many local schools participate S. A. Cawker hosts Oral Language Festival S.A. Cawker Public School hosted the Area 1 Oral Lan- guage Festival on Wednesday. Students in any grade from any school in Durham or Brockeouiy performin the festi- val. The Festival is a "celebration of talk" in which students pre- sentented their topic in the form of poems, rap, skits, dia- louges, story telling, drama, role playing, and recitation to name a few. The event was not a competi- tion but rather a time for stu- dents to get together and share talk on what is going on in their lives, and in their schools. The students each made their presentations at their own . school level first, then teachers chose those who would attend the Festival at S.A. Cawker. There were over 100 stu- dents representing 13 schools at the Festival. There were approximately 80 students entered from local schools alone. These students were from R.H. Cornish, Port Perry High School, S.A. Caw- ker, Cartwright, Epsom, Prince Albert, and Greenbank. There were several parents also in attendance for the pres- entations. The quality of each performance showed the dedi-, cation and rehearsal that every student put into his own pres- entation. The students also had a chance during the day to hear from Dan Hennessey, a profes- sional actor who came to the school to talk to the students about careers involving the use of voice.
