Before you start, read your chosen poem carefully and think about the meaning. It would be a good idea to discuss this with an adult.
Things to think about:
- Voice projection: speaking at a good volume so everyone can hear
- Articulation: speaking clearly so all words can be understood
- Timing and rhythm: emphasising the rhythm of the lines, respecting punctuation, not reading too quickly
- Mood: varying tone of voice, volume etc to suit happy / sad bits of a poem
- Facial expression: using expressions to suit different parts of the poem
- Gesture: emphasising or echoing the meaning of the poem with hand gestures
Good luck!
