Poetry OUT LOUD!

Winter Break is over and it is time to prepare for finals. For the last few weeks of school, we will be studying poetry. The final exam will be a test on poetry terms, but it will also include something else - a poetry reading BY YOU!

Each student will choose a poem from the Poetry Out Loud website to memorize and perform for the class. You can see the list of poems here:


There are MANY poems to choose from - some of them have only 25 lines of fewer. Look around and read some poems until you find one you like - or you can hit the "random poem" link and see what you get.

While we do not have any homework over the break, you can still take this time to choose and practice your poem.

Enjoy your break!
