Description/Educative Purpose: Poetry is an artistic form of expression in German-speaking communities. By using a common text (a poem) for an authentic purpose (performing to an audience of judges at the AGTV Poetry Competition), students are provided with purposeful opportunities to develop and demonstrate communicative skills in German, which can also be part of formative or summative assessment at the school. Learning to read a poem aloud develops skills in pronunciation, intonation and understanding of the text. Learning to recite a poem by heart for an audience develops memory and performance skills. It requires students to consider how to interpret and deliver the poem in the context of a recitation for an audience. In addition, there are personal and social benefits to participating through the opportunity to develop a sense of achievement in remembering a poem and the confidence to perform for an audience. At the end of a public performance, people usually clap, a great boost to self-esteem. Working together as a team for a group performance will develop skills in collaboration. |
