Dear Parents,
In honor of National Poetry Month, our third grade class will be having a Poetry Slam on April 30, 2019. During our Poetry Slam, we will be sharing our favorite poems that we have read over the course of the school year.
In order to make this event a success, your child will need to select a favorite poem to perform. Feel free to use poems that we have used in class, children’s poetry books, or even the internet as a tool to select a poem. Please have your child fill out their top two poem choices on the form that was sent home today (an extra copy can be found below) and return it to class by Thursday, April 25th .
Next, your child will have to read their poem fluently in front of the class and share a picture that represents their poem. This picture can be drawn on a poster board, construction paper, or even using Google Draw.
We highly encourage students to reread their poems several times or even memorize them. As a speaker, they will be receiving a grade on their presentation. Please see the rubric below as to how students will be graded on this assignment.
Lastly, we would love it if you came to our Poetry Slam. It will be held on April 30th, from 2:15-3:15. We hope to see you there!
