9/13/2012

Game Plan:

  • SSR
  • Poetry Outloud a#8 Scoring Guide
  • Practice scoring a video
  • Practice with partner
  • a#9 Timed Writing (20 minutes), practice ABC's and D's from a#5
So, today was pretty simple. We watched some Poetry Outloud videos from previous years and discussed what the speakers did right and what they did wrong. I thought it was really helpful because I definitely got some tips for when I have to recite my poem. Before watching the videos and practicing the scores, I thought it was great to use hand gestures, but you're actually not supposed to. Whoops..
Aside from Poetry Outloud, we also worked on the timed writing that we briefly went over a couple days ago. The topic for today's timed writing was to explain what led you to chose your senior topic and give a specific example or event. 

REMEMBER:
  • Research Check #2  tomorrow
  • Bring work out clothes for house competition
