Week 1 - Filming and performing favourite poems

The task? Find a poem that you enjoy. It could be serious, funny, silly, sad, happy, sporty, angry... you get the picture! Then, think of an interesting way to film and perform it. You'll need to think about locations, camera shots, projecting your voice and the overall performance you want to display.



Everybody working hard...!
