Pre-Seminar Activities:
1) Explore the Poetry In Voice website. Peruse the poems in the senior online anthology; read a variety of poems and find information about their authors. Select at least three poems from the anthology that speak to you, challenge you, even confuse you--just as long as they snag your interest in some way. Print off and bring at least one of these three poems to the "Poetry In Voice Part 1" seminar. This should be a poem you would like to memorize and recite. (If you have participated in Poetry In Voice in past years, this should not be the same poem you did then).
2) Complete the formative "Poetry Terminology Quiz" on Brightspace.
4) Attend the "Poetry in Voice Part 1 DISRUPT" seminar (week A), with a printed copy of your poem.
After the First Seminar:
5) Learn your poem as well as you can. Complete a detailed "DISRUPTion" on your poem. Understand the poem, memorize the poem, and practice reciting the poem in a way that expresses your interpretation of the poem. Watch videos of student recitations and look at the scoring rubric and evaluation sheet to get an idea of what makes a successful recitation.
6) When you are ready, sign up to recite your poem for evaluation at the "Poetry Recitation" seminar (week B) or at another time posted in the D2L calendar using the google form on the date you wish to recite. You will hand in your DISRUPT at this time. You may attend the recitation seminar as an audience member, or to serve as a prompter or support for your friends, as many times as you'd like. It's better to recite in front of a big audience! Students who excel at their recitations will be invited to perform and compete in the Bishop Carroll school finals for a chance at nationals. NOTE: those who wish to be considered for the school-wide competition MUST recite their poem before the end of January.
REASSESSMENT OPPORTUNITIES: You can recite poems an unlimited number of times for evaluation, with the following guidelines:
You may recite the same poem up to two times for evaluation.
If you wish to recite for evaluation more than twice, a new poem must be selected and a new DISRUPTion completed and handed in for each new poem.
Your highest evaluation mark will be the one recorded on D2L.
