Definition: To do something; to execute.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – “to do something; to execute” – is a good starting point, you see. But "performing," it’s a little more than just doing things, agree? Think of it like this: when we talk about performance , we're talking about doing something with intention and often with an audience . It’s not just a task, it’s a presentation! Let's break it down with some rhymes to help you see: Performing is showing, a vibrant decree, Bringing your talents for all eyes to see. It could be singing on a stage so bright, Or acting out a story with all of your might. It could be giving a speech, clear and bold, A presentation skillfully told. Even a dance, graceful and free, Is a performance for you and for me! So "performing" means to display something – a skill, an idea, a feeling - with care and purpose. It's about putting on a show, or sharing yourself in a particular way. Does that make sense? Any questions before we move on?
