A sequence of exercises to develop relaxation, extend vocal range, support good breathing, posture,
develop team sprit and enhance creativity.
Poetry is used in the class in such a manner that the performance lends audience impact. Students are
encouraged to explore the context literally and artistically so that the meaning is appreciated and the
content experienced in terms of a performance. Group ensemble, rhythmic chants, music, movement,
song and dance are all synchronized as and when required. A wide range of poetry is used at this level so
that at least the basics of lyrical, narrative and dramatic verse are experienced. Some literary background
knowledge is shared with the students so the work of the poet is appreciated.
Creative Writing
Creative Writing is explored to enhance both the students’ vocabulary and appreciation of prose poetry
and the text.
Sight Reader
Reading in terms of a performance is encouraged using the text for the grade – ‘Boy – Tales of Childhood’
Activities are also devised from the reader to lend to creative writing and extend the students’vocabulary.
Solo and group Mime and improvisation activities are devised from the text. These are assessed
progressively. Sight reading is assessed individually.
The Theory of Speech is explored and exploited via all class activities. The biography of the
author and an awareness of his writing are taught to the class.
The following is a list of poems provided in the book as a basis for class work:
● Are You Ready ● Alabama ● Ozymandias
● Footprints ● Yoruba Poem ● Acid Rain
● Let’s Keep it ● General Winter ● Grass
● When you Walk ● Progress ● Goliath
● Trees ● Christmas at our House ● Christmas Thank You’s
● Miracles ● The Jigsaw Puzzle ● Poem
● Life ● My Telly ● Kid Stuff
● Reasons Why ● Johnny Sands ● Bus Stop
● Sunrise ● Roadways ● Lizzy’s Lion
● Lord Ullin’s Daughter ● Casabianca ● O Captain My Captain
● Sir Patrick Spens ● Do we have to write a poem about it, Miss?
Classes are arranged each term such that a reading lesson alternates with Verse Speaking/ creative
writing/ mime/ improvisation/ Creative activity.
