Recitation versus Dramatic Interpretation

Here's the link to the Poetry Out Loud recitation we looked at in class earlier this week. As you'll see, there are several other videos with powerful recitations you can watch and learn from. Remember that you're aiming to be engaging - but not distracting - with your physical presence, letting the poem - and your understanding of it - do most of the work.

I look forward to seeing how you're thinking about your physical presence (eye contact, body language, small gestures, etc) in the recitation as we practice and present in class in the coming days.
