The poetry performance was definitely fun and different to do. I have had a lot of practice public speaking and
such. However reciting a poem is quite different from talking. I enjoyed the poem and spent hours memorizing but
as soon as I began I blanked. I was concentrating on trying to remain in character and recite my lines and got lost.
However it was fun and a great learning experience. I had fun and enjoyed listening to what others did and was
encompassing the entire show under the blanket. I must admit I did a lot better with the crowd than I had done before with
the practice. I definitely sensed that the students felt like it may have been a waste of their time but was glad they
were making eye contact. That was pretty much a great way to tell me they were listening. I also think they felt
that they were uncomfortable for us. haha.... They can only picture themselves doing a similar activity for a group of students
in their future. All in all I had fun and believe I learned from it. I felt that the storytelling we did in the summer
was easier for me to complete for some reason.
