Poetry+Performance


 * Poetry Performance**
 * Perform an original (that means you wrote it!) poem for the class. Don't forget, we want you to PERFORM it, not READ it.

In addition to the rubric, you will also be graded on effort and preparation. You will be asked to present your poemin class. See me to schedule your performance.
 * Poetry Performance Directions & Suggestions:**
 * You should attempt to memorize the poem. But, you are allowed to look at the words if you get stuck.
 * Be entertaining! Make us smile and laugh.
 * You may use props. But, the props should not outshine your performance.

//You //are being graded, not the quality of your props.
 * Practice, Practice, Practice.
 * Make sure you know HOW to say all of the words (Pronunciation)
 * Make sure you say ALL of the word; don’t drop off any endings (Enunciation)
 * Be loud enough for everyone to hear you.
 * Adjust your volume to create emphasis on your words and meaning.
