About
Technology High School will be hosting a poetry jam on Wednesday, May 19. We are looking to hear from young poets. Middle School students will present in the morning and High School students will present in the afternoon.
The students will:
1.Compose an original poem using similes, metaphor, hyperboles and personification
2.Present their poem via ITV using effective delivery strategies (e.g., eye contact, body language, volume, intonation, and articulation) when speaking.
3.Include audio-visual aids if they enhance the poem (ex. PowerPoint backdrop)
4.Engage in a question and answer session about their poetry with students from remote sites
5.Summarize, make judgments, and evaluate the content and delivery of oral presentations.
Each student will have no more than 4 minutes total for their presentation including questions and answers.
The participating teachers will evaluate the poems and presentations and select the best from their site to present. Each school should have 5-6 students prepared to present and expect at least 3 to present.
