Hello 7Y3!
Welcome to our blog that we will be using in English lessons.
Throughout the year I might post something on the blog that you may have to respond and comment on for homework or something that might interest you for a bit of wider reading outside of lessons and away from the topic we are studying.
Think of this as our classroom outside of the classroom, a space just for us to continue some of the discussions and things we have been working on past the bell!
Watch this space 7Y3!

In 2010 Simon Mole was commissioned by Guys and St Thomas’s Charity to be lead artist on a groundbreaking long-term poetry project with the hospital porters. He shadowed the porters, performed to patients, and ran workshops to equip the staff with the tools to express their thoughts, feelings and opinions through poetry.

ReplyDeleteSimon Mole is a word artist whose writing and performance makes something unseen, unheard, the forgotten and the yet to occur. He makes interesting and honest music exploring ideas from outside the normal kind of poetry and with hip hop. His poems are shared with listeners in a way that pushes them to make their own meanings of things.

Performance poetry is not solely a postmodern phenomenon. It begins with the performance of oral poems in pre-literate societies. By definition, these poems were transmitted orally from performer to performer and were constructed using devices such as repetition, alliteration and rhyme to facilitate memorization and recall. The performer composed the poem from memory, using the version they had learned as a kind of mental template. This process allowed the performer to add their own flavor to the poem in question.

ReplyDeleteThis is the poem I listened to by Simon Mole. It was a very good poem and it made me think. I had to listen to it a few times before I understood what it was about but I finally got what it was about.
It had allot of detail in it and it was very interesting.
Hope that's OK.

Performance poetry is poetry that is composed before an audience. During the 1980s, it came into popular usage to describe poetry written for performance rather than printing and keeping. Here are ten things needed for performance poetry:
ReplyDeleteRHYTHM, BEAT, EXPRESSION, TONE OF VOICE, VOLUME(LOUDNESS AND QUIETNESS), SPEED, MOOD OF THE POEM, CHARACTERS, REPETITION(DON'T REPEAT LINES UNLESS NEEDED TO) AND EMPHASIS. HOPE THIS IS ENOUGH FOR THE HOMEWORK:) EISHA ZAMAN!!!!

A good performance poetry needs dramatic techniques to hook the audience otherwise the audience will fall asleep. Also you will need hand and body gestures or you will be standing in the middle of the stage doing nothing!
