To appreciate the value of seeing and hearing a poetry performance, groups prepare readings of selected poems and then compare and critique their interpretations and videotaped versions of the same poem. Included in the resource are activities, questions to guide groups, as well as full class discussions, links to great video performances, and poetry resources.
