This was one of the most successful programs I did in my class. The kids loved it and the parents loved it. It became an annual Spring event.
Students learn their favorite poems, practice expression, and practice projecting their voices.
They make props to highlight their poem. On the big day they present it to classmates, parents etc. Books Everyone gets equal billing with this presentation. Spend time letting the kids read poems and be sure to read to them. When you read to them use over exaggerated expression.
