2) Introduction to the Spoon River Anthology. You can read all 244 dramatic poems here if you so desire. We will only look at a few in class. Terms - Monologue, Epitaph.
3) What makes for a great oral reading? First, take a moment to understand a poem's cues. Then watch three videos from the Favourite Poem Project. Develop our criteria ___/24
In groups read and present on one of the Spoon River poems. Discuss speaker, tone, diction (word choice), theme...
4) Write your own Epitaph Poem... about yourself, a public figure, a historical figure, anyone you know.
