Eagles wrote poems about Jim’s escape (Streetchild), considering how the use of line structure, language and punctuation would effect the performance of their piece.

 

When rehearsing for this performance, children were asked to make decisions on their voice projection/articulation, timing, rhythm, facial expressions and gestures, so they could maximise the effect of their poems.

 

We we think they did an excellent job, performing with purpose and confidence. What do you think?
