We'll start today with a chance to recite your poem to an assigned partner in preparation for our quiz. The quiz is simple - take out a sheet of paper and write out your poem. Then, exchange pages with your partner and give them a copy of your poem. You will then score each other for accuracy, based on the Poetry Out Loud Accuracy Sheet we will use during our competition (and for all POL competitions). The maximum score you can earn is an 8.
Then, we'll watch a few more videos and discuss what those presenters are doing with their poems and how you might incorporate those skills into your recitation. Following that you'll work in groups of three to continue working on your recitation. Here is a link to the scoresheet we will use in class for our competition.
Lastly, it is time to buy our next book - A Tale of Two Cities! You will need it in class next Tuesday, the 21st. Copies are $12 and are available now at the bookstore - I HIGHLY recommend you purchase the same edition as everyone else in the class will have so you do not get lost looking for page numbers.
