Poetry+Performance

__Poetry Performance__
Introduce the poem, just like you would if you were giving a book talk. Model fluent reading of the poem and use other fluency strategies such as echo reading, choral reading and paired reading. After students are familiar with the poem, ask them to pair each line of the poem with a body or hand movement. Have students practice reading the poem and include the body movements at the same time. When the students are ready, gather an audience for a poetry performance! Check this out...
