Poetry Recitation

Our Poetry Recitation competition is held during Term 3.

The competition is a compulsory component of this term's program and will be held during WEEK 4.

The following guidelines will help you to prepare:

• The time limit for Year 6  - MAXIMUM 2 minutes.
• You are not permitted to use palm cards.
• No song lyrics or poems by Ken Nesbitt.

PLAN to be prepared for your performance.

Week 1:

 Choose your poem. Time yourself reading it to ensure that it meets the 2 minute time requirements. Email me the name of your poem.

Week 2:

Practise each night. Record yourself and evaluate your progress. Remember to pay attention to pitch, pause, pace and expression.

Week 3:

Make a video of yourself performing the poem. Evaluate your performance in terms of pitch, pace, pause and expression but this time factor in facial expression and body language - your stance and gestures. Keep practising!
