Many of Shakespeare's speeches don't rely on rhyme but on rhythm. Ask student to rehearse a specific speech and to video record or make an audio of it, Ask them to identify what they think is different about the words when they see them and hear them - there should be a greater sense of 'wholeness'.
Ask them to revisit the role of punctuation and to explain what use the punctuation has and also to discuss what other factors impact on the pace and intonation of their chosen video.
Now ask them to write it up as a constructive criticism as though a director is giving notes to an actor about to undertake the role.
