This week, we’re reading this poem by Nick Toczek – a Yorkshire born poet.
We watched Nick Toczek perform it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zxwqtfr/watch/z7w42hv
We had a think about what made his performance so good! These are the R2s (remember to) that we took from him:
- read with prosody
- add actions
- change tone of voice
- change volume of voice
- involve the audience
- well-rehearsed
We then used these R2s to do our performances! We worked in small groups to add actions, rehearse and practise reading with prosody. The performances were fantastic with some even memorising the words after 20 minutes!
Help at home by reading this poem at home and performing to each other! Can you use all the R2s?
