The poem will be approved by me so as no inappropriate material is used. The student will then practice reading the poem aloud. When the student is comfortable, he or she will record using vocaroo.com. The student will then post it to the class website. Once the poem is posted, the student must conscript a different poem to write a breif response on how the poem changes when read aloud. This will help students understand how to use technology that is available for free on the internet, and the lesson will also help the student familiarize themselves with poetry as an oral medium.

The response can be done in class. This is not meant to be a difficult assignment, more something the students can use to apply poetry to their lives.
