Performance poetry

Wednesday 02 April 2025

This week, we’re reading a poem – My Iguana by Brian Moses.

Walking with my Iguana

We watched Brian Moses perform it here:

We had a think about what made his performance so good! These are the R2s (remember to) that we took from him:

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?
