EXTRA CREDIT for EARLY COMPLETION
In order to encourage you not to procrastinate or wait until the last minute, I will offer the following:
* Turn in your well-proofed, corrected final draft (D3) next Thursday, 5/4: +4 points to your D3 grade
* Turn in your well-proofed, corrected final draft (D3) on Tuesday, 5/9: +2 points to your D3 grade
* Turn in your well-proofed, corrected final draft (D3) on Thursday, 5/11: no extra credit; that's when it's due!
Your final draft of your theme story must fall between 10-15 pages.
OPENING (Bible verse and prayer):
2) Visit this website and watch the poetry recitations of the following four young students:
* Jackson Hille reciting "Forgetfulness"
* Sophia Elena Soberon reciting "Bilingual/Bilingue"
* Shawntay A. Henry reciting "Frederick Douglass"
* William Farley reciting "Danse Russe"
3) Practice, practice, practice reciting your memorized poem!! You will not simply be evaluated on how solid your memorization is (as you were for your verses), but you will also be evaluated on your delivery of it. How expressive were you? Dynamic? Interesting? Practice reciting it slowly, with expression, for your parents, your siblings, your friends, in front of the mirror, filming yourself and watching it, etc. Don't let yourself feel goofy or silly or shy or embarrassed. Just be good at it!
