Poetry Coffeehouse
Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with the shades of deeper meaning. *Maya Angelou
Objectives:
ü Select poems that lend themselves to being read aloud and/or performed
ü Practice performance
ü Present poetry reading to the class
ü Use a rubric to rate performance
Poetry Requirements:
ü Must cover appropriate material
ü 14+ lines (can be comprised of multiple poems)
Poetry Presentation:
ü On the day of the coffeehouse, you must bring a “folder” containing your Poet Portrait (see template) and the poem. A sample was provided in class for you to use as a guide.
Today:
Pick a few books and explore the options of topic, style, rhythm, and rhyme. Once you find you like, recopy it so that you can practice. The books are signed out to Miss Drosdick and Mr. Tatgenhorst for class room use only.
Tuesday:
Coffeehouse Poetry Reading!
**Note: You will have today to find your poems and begin practicing. We will not be spending Monday working on it because we will be going over the quarterly and “Mrs. Flowers” assessment. Please use your time accordingly.**
