Let's Perform It!

PRESENT YOUR POEM

It's time to perform your duet poem! Remember: read slowly and clearly so that you can convey the meaning of your poem.

After you perform your poem, your teacher and the class will give you feedback. Use that feedback to practice some more with your partner.

If you want another opportunity to perform, volunteer to introduce one of the musical selections that was inspired by insects.

Make sure to clarify words in your reading for pronunciation and meaning, and practice it out loud many times before performing.

PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

It's time for the class performance! Put it all together. Student readers introduce the presentation and the musical selections, which are played in between some of the poems.

After the performance, reflect upon your reading by using the self assessment checklist.
