Performance Poetry

We've been looking at the work of different poets and have been discussing our preferences. We learnt that poems are designed to be performed, rather than read.

We looked at a range of performances from poets such as Michael Rosen, Roger McGough and Benjamin Zephaniah. We then devised a checklist which makes a good performance:

- different volumes of voice
- change in pace
- sound effects
-  lively expression
- a clear voice
- lots of body language and movement

We then practised and performed our poems in front of a P Factor audience! Our four judges (Louis, Mel, Cheryl and Simon) then gave us feedback on our performances.

Have a look at a couple of our performances below. What do you think they judges said?
