Poetry Out Loud Performances

Go to the Poetry Out Loud website (poetryoutloud.org) and watch at least two performances, in addition to the performances we watched in class. Write two paragraphs about one of the performances in which you discuss how the student conveys the meaning of the poem with his/her performance.

The first paragraph should primarily discuss the effectiveness of the performance. Include language from the scoring criteria (physical presence, voice and articulation, etc.) The second paragraph should deal with your interpretation of the poem's meaning, with an emphasis on how specific details of the performance enhances the meaning. Be sure to include the title of the poem.

Due Friday, December 4.
