Poetry Party Preparation

Camille and Breann - A big thank you (You know why!)...
Well done on your narrative poems today. There were some passionate performances:

These are the poems that should appear in your poetry booklet.
  • Kennings
  • Everyday Object
  • Noun Poem
  • Extended Metaphor
  • Memorized Published Poem
  • Inside/Outside
  • I wonder
  • Song Interpreatation
  • Slam
  • Narrative Performance Poem
  • Free Choice
You may also add other poems if you choose. By Tuesday, your poetry booklet should be completed and attractively decorated. Choose any two poems that you want to perform from the list above and be prepared to do short auditions on Monday.  The more you put into  your poems the more enjoyable the poetry party will be. What will you do to make your poems the BEST you have ever recited? - Amaze me!!!


Great game for fractions practice!!!

    Is the poem below good so far? It's my free choice poem that I was thinking of doing!


    Listen for it
    And it will find you
    Ready

    Beg for it
    And it will creep past you
    Unexpected

    Seek for it
    And you will only occasionally get a clue
    Small but precise

    Like that new day signalling beginning
    Like that ring indicating promise
    Like that leaf hinting thanks
    Like that firework meaning celebrate

    Life means going through good and bad
    It means reaching for the best in each and every day
    It means you are here for something
    Whether it’s big or small
    It’s precise
    And is there so your life can be lived

    Great poem Maddy. I really liked how you hid the subject until the end. You should recite it!

    Sabine, you are special because...
    -You're very creative (noun song, ideas, etc.)
    -You're smart
    -You're enthusiastic
    -You're energetic

    Mr. Buxton,
    On Monday when we do our 'auditions' can we use the teleprompter?

    ReplyDelete
  41. berrysweetπFebruary 26, 2012 at 12:37 PM

    Maddy- I think so because he hasn't told us that we have to memorize it yet. But just in case, say memorize it anyway. Maya and I did, and in the end, it benefited us.
