HERE IS SOME INFORMATION FOR YOU ABOUT POETRY MEMORIZATION, INCLUDING HOW-TO'S AND CHOICES OF POEMS. If you have a different choice, that is totally fine - just make sure to check with me before you spend any time memorizing.
YOU MUST MEMORIZE A MINIMUM OF TEN LINES OF POETRY! If you have a poem that is longer, you can memorize the first ten lines and then add to it .
DUE ON OR BEFORE BY MONDAY 2/13/2012 -
You must get your poem choice approved by me before memorization. This must be submitted to me by Friday 1/27. You must give me your name, the name of the poem and the author, and show me a copy of the poem. When you get approval, you can begin your memorization.
