As part of our mini Scotland topic you should choose a poem to learn and recite to the class. You may be the lucky person who then represents our class at our annual Burns’ Assembly on Friday 27th January.
When presenting your poem you will be judged on the following:
- Good, clear diction
- Pace
- A good understanding of the poem
- Correct pronunciation of Scottish words
- Good facial and vocal expression conveying the sentiment of the poem
- Variation in pace and tone
- A moderate amount of appropriate gesture if it comes naturally and if it enhances the poem
- Over-dramatisation should be avoided as this distracts the audience and detracts from the flow of words
Please use the links below to see a selection of poems to choose from if you wish. As discussed, if you have another poem you wish to learn instead, please let me know. There is also a link for poems by Robert Burns if you wish to learn one of these. All poem choices should be made by Friday.
