Choral poems


This Web site is great for getting started with reading poetry chorally. The link on the left called "Poetry Theater" turns the poems from the "School Poems" icon on the home page into poems for more than one reader.

Almost any poem can be read chorally, and it might be interesting to have students form groups and then give each group the same poem to break up into parts and read aloud in front of the class. A discussion about interpreting poems could follow.

There are many Web sites with choral reading resources and definitions of different types of choral reading.
