Poems
Students will have roughly 3-4 weeks to memorize each poem throughout the year. Students will usually be given a set of two poems for the month. They will choose one of these two poems to memorize and recite in front of the class. Occasionally there will be a set poem that will count toward their Young American Award. Poems will usually be sent home at the beginning of the month. Students will be graded on memorization, volume, posture, and eye contact. Here you will find a copy of each poem, as well as the poem schedule for this year.
