On Wednesday the 7th of June, Year 8 had the opportunity to experience a Poetry In Action performance. The aim of this performance was to demonstrate the fun side of poetry through story. The characters in this particular story needed to learn various literary techniques in order to enter a rap battle. The performers also had many activities and games to encourage students to join in, such as Poetry Ping-Pong. They also had indications for when students should participate by clapping and make sound effects throughout the performance. Year 8 had a great time at this incursion and gained further knowledge of poetry and English techniques.
As stated by one of the participating students, “It was amazing, so much fun to view and be a part of the audience”
