Group 2: Damaris, Alexandra, Tanzi G, Angelo,
Group 3: Helena, Alexia, Lukas S, Arvey, Samantha,
Group 4: Celia, Samuel, Nathan, Giuli O

You can choose from the following poets in the group.  Research a bit of their identity (for the poet you choose, write one paragraph) and then choose one poem from one of the poets which you will share with your group. After everyone in the group has read choose one person to read from your group that person will read to the class. READ IT WITH EMOTION.  IF you can find an audio recording listen to how it is read. This will be a mini-slam poetry competition. :)
