Assignment #9: Poetry Performance

 * With your group, you will perform a selected poem. You may choose to record it as an audio clip or a poetry slam performance. You may choose to perform your personification or family poems, or you may choose a poem that is already published by a poet. **

1. Decide on what media you want to use for your performance: video or audio. 2. Decide on what poem (s) you will use. If you choose to recite a poem by a published poet, Mrs. Wisser will have to approve it. Also, you will need to post this poem on your chapter's work page. 3. Decide on an order in which each member will perform. Equally divide sections of a poem if needed. 4. Practice reading and performing your poem. The rubric is available to remind you of what is required in your final performance.

Here are some [|helpful tips] for reciting and performing poems.

FYI, I will help you record and post your final performances on our Wiki.
