Spoken Word

Learning Target(s):

  • Select and apply appropriate oral communication formats for intended purposes
  • Understand and evaluate how literary elements, techniques, and devices enhance and shape meaning and impact
  • Examine the significance of terms/words from First Peoples languages used in English texts
  • Discern nuances in the meanings of words, considering social, political, historical, and literary contexts
  • Demonstrate understanding of the role of story and oral traditions in expressing First Peoples perspectives, values, beliefs and points of view

 

Choose your best poem to adapt into a Spoken Word performance. The reading should be 1-3 minutes and include the effective oration techniques from the lesson.

Record your Spoken Word as a video (preferable), or if you are not comfortable on camera, voice-only is fine using Audacity, GarageBand, iMovie or other recording software with the capacity to edit sound. Add either sound effects or music or both to augment your voice reading. 

Export the file as an mp3 or mp4 format file and upload it to the dropbox. Alternatively, uploading your video to Youtube and providing the link is the easiest way to submit your video. Here is a link to a tutorial on how to do that: Youtube Tutorial
