Memorizing your POL poem

Now that you have selected a poem for our Poetry Out Loud recitation, time to get memorizing. Here are three ways to help with the memorization:

1) record you saying the poem. Listen to it. Listen again. And again. Repeat.

2) watch a youtube performance of your poem (ideal) or a student video (not as ideal). Hopefully, someone uploaded an actual POL performance. Watch and see how the student becomes the speaker of the poem.

3) use Quizlet to enter your poem as a series of lines. Scatter. Done.
