IGCSE Poetry Presentations

Each student will present one poem from the assigned collection to the class. Presentations should last 15-20 minutes and engage the class in an informative discussion of the poem's meaning. Students are expected to: 1. Create a handout with an activity to introduce the poem, discussion questions, and a follow-up activity. 2. Read the poem aloud and use a visual aid like PowerPoint to support analysis of literary elements and theme. 3. Lead a discussion to ensure all students understand the poem's meaning, theme, and how literary devices contribute rather than simply telling the class what it means. Presentations will be assessed on presentational skills, analytical quality, and materials created.

Poetry Presentations

Each student will teach the class ONE poem. All the remaining poems in the Songs of
Ourselves selection must be covered.

The poem should be presented in an informative and engaging manner. The presenter’s
goal is to ensure that all students fully understand the meaning of the poem; yet
remember that you are teaching, not just telling the class what the poem means. The
presentation will take 15 -20 minutes.

What to do for your presentation:

1. Prepare a hand-out for your classmates. The hand-out should include some or all of
the following:
a. A ‘motivational’ task or activity to get the class interested in your topic. This warm-up
should be brief (no more than three minutes).
b. Follow-up questions for after the class has read the poem.
c. Follow-up activity for after the discussion of the poem.
d. notes or information about the poet
e. Be creative! Bring in artwork or an interactive activity. Think about what lessons your
teachers have done over the years that have really excited your interest. Make the class
fun. This should not be an ordinary presentation.

2. Read the poem aloud to the class with feeling and clear articulation. Ensure that you
are familiar with the poem. Know what all the words in the poem mean.

3. Create a PPT or equivalent visual aid to support your lesson. This does not mean that
you will be reading from the PowerPoint; it means that the class will have a clear visual
aid to help support their understanding of the poem. The PowerPoint should be useful
to your classmates; it should not be full of tiny writing which students will not have the
time or desire to read.

4. Ensure that the class fully understands the following:


a. How literary concepts (such as rhyme, rhythm, structure, imagery, tone, etc.)
contribute to the overall meaning of the poem. In other words, you must do more than
simply identify the literary elements. You must explain how these elements deepen our
understanding of the overall poem and its theme.
b. A full and analytical understanding of the theme. Ensure that all students fully
understand the meaning of the poem by the end of the presentation. In order to do this,
you must fully understand the meaning of the poem first.
Remember: This is a lesson. Ask the class questions, solicit answers from them. You
need not tell them everything they need to know. Help them figure out the answers
themselves!

5. While doing research online, do not blindly copy whatever you find. Read through the
analysis and evaluate what makes sense to you and how to incorporate it. If you don’t
understand the material, your classmates won’t either.

Assessment Rubric
Your presentations will be graded based on three main categories: (1) the quality of your
ability to present the information, (2) the quality of your analysis, and (3) the quality of
the materials you have created for your presentation.
