Poetry Out Loud

12/21/2018

Your ONLY homework for the break is to select and begin memorizing a poem for Poetry Out Loud! Be sure to visit www.poetryoutloud.org to choose a poem for recitation.

Once you select a poem, please bring a copy of the poem to class with you when we return. You may either print out the poem or write the poem by hand.

Keep in mind the following:

The poem must be at LEAST 10 lines long.
Extra credit for poems with 25+ lines.
Extra credit if you are the only one who has chosen your poem.
You may NOT choose the poems "300 Goats" or "Abandoned Farmhouse."
You must memorize the title, author and first 8-10 of the poem for the first check!

When you return, you will be expected to know the TITLE, AUTHOR and first 8-10 LINES of the poem you selected.

If you can't search through the entire Poetry Out Loud website, click HERE for links to pre-selected poems to choose from.
