ABSTRACT
Listening to verse and speaking it aloud is a vital step to appreciating and writing poetry. The aim of this workshop is to add extra energy and enjoyment to the poetry class and to boost confidence.
The advice on performing poetry is given in the form of a performance poem. Children can use this verse as a springboard to their own performances and to writing their own performance poem. In a playful way, awareness of punctuation and linebreaks is increased.
