You are going to write and deliver your own spoken word poetry. It will be performed to an invited audience on Weds 19th Nov. Requirements:It must be memorised, not read. It must sound practiced. It must have a natural rhythm. (This will be achieved by a combination of short and long sentences and repetition of ideas or phrases.) It must have a clear main point or idea. It must have emotional or personal significance. Or be on an issue you care about. It must have the cadence of a spoken word poem. You cannot be static while performing. It could have an instrumental soundtrack playing as you perform. Standards you are demonstrating:
