Poems and poems

For those of you who would like to select a poem to read expressively next week here are two sites in which we have plenty to choose from:
- http://www.poetryarchive.org/poetryarchive/home.do
- http://www.poets.org/page.php/prmID/58

On YouTube you can listen to the poets reading their own poems which is reaaally good practice:-)
Here are two of my favourite:
- http://www.rogermcgough.org.uk/ (this is actually Roger McGough's site where you find the link to Bad Bad Cats)
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqOqo50LSZ0&feature=related - Maya Angelou reads her poem Still I Rise

As you can imagine Roger McGough and Maya Angelou are two of my favourite poets. But I have many more..
Enjoy your poems.

PORTFOLIOS

By now your portfolios are a showcase of all activities we have done during this school year. And I should say you worked really well :-)
I've just been reading some of your news reports and the short stories and they are amazing. With your permision, I'll post (some of) them here, together with the videos of your presentations. Unless, of course, you  already have an e-portfolio, in which case you can post them yourselves.

Well, back to the portfolios. Click here to find an overview of what you did and the skills involved. Your portfolio should contain all the items listed here. But...
It's now time to make a selection of your best work. You should also prepare a final Learning Journal entry with your self-assessment.In class we'll discuss how you can do this but you can start right away. Here are the guidelines for your self-assessment.


Be ready to bring your portfolio to class (or have it posted) by the end of May.
