Class Materials for March 21, 2024

For this week you'll need two things.

Here's the first thing: It is a renamed version of something already uploaded. We'll be working with phonemic transcription.

Here's the second thing: Another poem, this not as dystopian as last week's.

Hopefully some people will have chosen poems and we can discuss that.

See y'all in class!

Last Minute: Class Materials for March 14, 2024

A bit later than I intended but better now than never.

Here are the VOA texts for today. Both groups are in the same document.

Here is a poem I may be reading today (or will soon in the future).

See y'all in class!

Class Materials for March 14, 2024

This week we will continue with the VOA texts. Some people have still not posted their text.

Here is where to post it.

I will collect them until 9.00 on March 14 and then post them for class.

We will also discuss the poetry readings and a bit about the final (not too too horrible).

See y'all in class!

Links for Finding Poetry to Recite

 

Here is a baker’s dozen of American poets with links to some of their works and to their Wikipedia biographies.

There’s a lot of variety from the early 19th to the late 20th century with male and female, black and white poets who write in a variety of modern and traditional forms.

You can choose an entire poem (that takes at least 60 seconds to recite and normal speed, which is a bit slower than normal speech about like the VOA texts).

You can also choose two or more short poems with a total time of at least 60 seconds. If you choose more than poem they can be from the same or different poets.

You can also choose from poets not listed here but you should clear that with the instructor.

You may also choose song lyrics as a poem but these would require editing (and again should be cleared with the instructor).

Happy Hunting!

Class Materials for March 07, 2024: UPDATE!

 

UPDATE: Here are the texts for group 1.

UPDATE: Here are the texts for group 2.

Again, if you did not post your text in time, you should have copies for the class (about 20).

This week we will be practicing your VOA texts in class.

I can't help but notice that not everyone has posted their VOA text into the google docs page (link below). So far only 5 people from group 1 and 12 from group 2 have posted their texts.

To give people more time I will give you until tomorrow (Thursday) morning at 9.00 to post your text at which point I'll post links to the documents for each group.

If you do not post your text into the google docs page then you should print copies for the other people in your group (about 20 copies).

The link to the google docs page is below the jump (click where it says 'Czytaj więcej' or 'Read more').
