Homework for the next three nights is to MEMORIZE one of the eight poems I handed out today. Students will be reciting their chosen poem in front of the class on Thursday. Their grade will be based on four things:
1. Stating the title and author
2. Accurately reciting the poem word for word
3. Fluency of the recitation (ie: smoothly saying the poem in a way that shows that they know it well and understand it)
4. Poise (ie: how the students carry themselves in front of the class -- body language, vocal tone, et cetera)
Students are working in class time to review vocabulary for a test on Friday. Reviewing at home would be a GREAT idea, too!
Get those MYSTERY BOOKS read and get working on projects. Projects are due on the 28th of April (next Tuesday).
