Water Poems

As you have seen, one of the objectives in Unit 4 is to learn how to recite a poem in English.

You can choose one of these poems:

• Crossing the Bar by Alfred Lord Tennyson
• The Tide Rises the Tide Falls by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
• I think that the Root of the Wind is Water by Emily Dickinson
• To An Isle In The Water by William Butler Yeats
• Water Music by Robert Creeley

Or any of the following:

• Classic Poems About Sailors and the Sea

You can also try this game and then use this poem (click on the image to access the link):

You will have to find images which illustrate your poem. So, you need to understand what the poem says, first.

Use Voicethread to record your voice to the chosen images.

Some tips:

• Read the poem slowly. 
• Read in a normal, relaxed tone of voice. 
• Use a dictionary to look up unfamiliar words and hard-to-pronounce words.

This assignment is due for April, 2.
