Poetry Outloud



Thanks Mrs. Whittington - blog post adapted from http://whittenglish9.blogspot.com/search/label/PoetryOutLoud



Your assignment is to memorize/present a poem as part of our class poetry slam.

If you would like to compete in the Poetry Out Loud National Competition, your poem must be from the anthology list and must be memorized.

If you do not want to compete beyond the classroom, the poem does not have to be from the anthology, but it must be approved by your teacher and must be a minimum of 10 lines. Presentation does not have to be completely memorized.
