HEADPHONES & DIGITAL DEVICES PUT AWAY
Poetry that is written in columns for two people to perform. Readers read both
separately and simultaneously.
Poetry for Two Voices
READING POETRY…..HOW YOU READ IT, AFFECTS HOW IT IS HEARD
CHANGING THE FOLLOWING CHANGES THE POEM…
PITCH OF YOUR VOICE, THE SPEED THAT YOU SPEAK, THE VOLUME OF YOUR VOICE
WHEN READING POETRY, THE PERFORMER MUST DETERMINE WHICH WORDS OR PHRASES TO
EMPHASIZE & WHICH TO
DE-EMPHASIZE.
There is more to emphasis than volume.
To EMPHASIZE a word or words: slow downincrease your volumedecrease your volumePause (longer than may be natural) directly after the word or right before the word.

NON-VERBAL DELIVERYWHAT THE REST OF ME IS SAYING WHILE MY VOICE IS
READING OUT LOUD

MOVEMENT
EYE CONTACT
STANCE
POSTURE
Feet shoulder width apart, balanced. Avoid swaying or shifting your balance. Have your feet pointed toward the audience.
Stand erect (straight back, shoulders up, head pointed forward,)
NON-VERBAL DELIVERY
NON-VERBAL DELIVERY
GESTURES
MOVEMENT
Hands should rest down at your sides, relaxed. If that isn’t possible, try holding them behind your back. When holding a speech or poem, avoid rattling the paper. This is why index cards work better, they are less distracting.
Movement that is planned or choreographed to enhance the poem is great, but movement can easily become distracting.
NON-VERBAL DELIVERY
EYE CONTACT Eye contact, or the illusion of it is essential. If you are reading your poem, you must still know your poem well enough to look up 75% or more of the time. If eye contact is hard, try looking at the tops of heads – especially those in the middle of the room.
“Graduation”
I am a teacher I am a student
Twenty years my trade Seven classrooms
Fourteen classroomsSeven hundred children
Fourteen teachersHave touched my life. Have touched my life.
Every day I come Every day I comeMy choice, my call
They make me.I'm glad I'm here I'm glad I'm here.
I come to teach
I come to learnI come to earn a paycheck I come to earn my diploma
I come to be with my friends I come to be with my friends
I work very hard They make me work hard
Lesson plans, forms and more forms
Projects, exams, oral reportsWhen do I have time for my
personal life?When do I have time for my
personal life?
I HATE HOMEWORK! I HATE HOMEWORK!
I love my students My teachers hate me.
Sometimes I think the kids hate me
Most of my teachers are
pretty cool Sometimes they make me so
mad Sometimes they make me so
madLike when it's only been ten minutes since lunch and they ask to go to the restroom
and it is the same kids every time.
Well, they won't let us talkI write about what's important to
me!
or when they won't talk or when they won't stop
talking
It's like they don't think we have a life and we should just be able to stop it when the bell rings and start talking
about what they want us to talk about instead of what is important to us.
They can make me laugh
I like to play
I like to joke and put people on They help me stay young
New music, new slang "I love school.....not!"
I try to challenge them
They challenge me Challenge their perceptions of
the world and themselves I challenge them back
I try to keep them on their toes
I try to keep them on their toes
Sometimes I'm so proud of them
Sometimes I get good grades
They work hard I work hard…On somethings
They rise to my challenge
They succeed I succeed I feel so proud I feel so proud
All seven hundred have moved on It's time to move on
I worry about them when they go It's kind of scary
I hope I've provided them each with little something that will make the way
a little smoother And exciting
And I am often reassured as I grow to know my students each year, because invariably I find something uniquely wonderful in each
one This gives me hope
Because Because They are the future I am the future.
Now it’s your turn!
First you will need a partner.
Next you will need a poem.
Read through the poem silently first.
Then, with your partner read through it and plan how you will present it.
What do you need to plan….
• Who will read which part?
• Which words or phrases do you need or want to emphasize.
• How will you emphasize the different words or phrases? What tools will you use?
TIME TO REVISESPEND TIME CONCENTRATING ON REVISION : ASK, ANSWER, FIXWhat word might work better? Does your rhythm need work? What about enjambment? Would changing the order of my lines help? How can an image be developed more clearly and vividlyIs there figurative language in the poem? What poetic sound devices would strengthen the poem?
