Sign up for a day to open the class with a poem in the first five minutes. You may choose from any of the following female 20th century American poets. Feel free to be as creative as you wish in sharing the poem with us! What are various, unique ways you can present it? Choral Reading? Audio recording of poet reading her own work? Bringing an artifact that captures the essence of the poem? Asking questions of the class after you read it to us? Sharing photos and biographical background of the poet?
