We love poetry at FSG! We are all going to learn a poem by heart, and perform it for the class as part of our Book Week!
The four best performers will be invited to recite their poem at a special competition in the hall - and we'll record their performances and podcast them on this blog!
Try to pick poems written by non-English poets: look for poems from Australia, India, America, Jamaica, China...
Learning poetry by heart
Depending on your prefered learning style, there are several different ways to start learning your poem
- Read the poem again and again.
- Try recording it onto tape, and listen to it again and again
- If you're a kinaesthetic learner, make up some movements for each line of the poem
- Musical learner might want to learn the poem as a song, or try setting it to music!
- Visual learners might want to write it up as a beautiful piece of calligraphy
