Poetry is meant to be read aloud. Select a poem - it can be a personal favorite or one you find randomly - and read it aloud in a way that itself makes it a story. Then at the ending of that poem extend it or connect it to a story -- this has to be more than just reading a poem to be a story.

A Poem of Joy for Children
This poetic story is for Audio Assignments454, Poetry Reading. For decades now, I have remembered a children’s poem from my high school Spanish class that I know as Aserin, Aseran, Los Maderos de San Juan. I would recite it intact to my Spanish-speaking friends and they would smile nicely and …
under the chestnut tree

Spooksy loves the little childrens (AudioAssignments454 1.5 Star)
So this week the audio assignments are supposed to be about our host, and I chose 2 really good ones, but I still needed 1 1/2 more starts, so I decided to let my host read a poem, and make it the all spooksy audio week. I couldn’t find a …
Theresa and Ian Share a Coke Once Again.
So for this one-and-a-half star assignment, I threw it back to a previous assignment that I did during what I think was Photography Week … Wow, doesn’t that seem like eons ago?! For a bit of background information, I would advise reading my post here, as the story behind …
Poetry Read Aloud a la The Great Gatsby
When I saw this assignment, I knew that I needed to read a poem from Robert Frost. He is my all time favorite poet. Additionally, when I saw that we needed to relate this to a story in some way I thought to create my own poem out of stanzas …
DNA: A poetry reading
For my first audio assignment of the week I chose to the poetry reading assignment. It was pretty simple, not shocking given it’s only worth 1.5 stars. When I saw the assignment, I felt it would be relatively easy to find a poem that expresses who Isabelle Franklin is. …

So, for this assignment we were supposed to read a poem and make it a story…. I found this short poem excerpt online dedicated to Rod Serling and his heart-throbiness and made a recording of it as part of my thoughts on his babe-ness. Difficulty: 1 1/2 stars, but I’m …
Audio: Take 2
The last time we did audio work I really enjoyed it and learned to appreciate it…these past couple of weeks I learned to appreciate it a lot more. These were very difficult for me and technology was not always being my best friend. I did really enjoy getting more acquainted …
Audio Assignment #3
I love poetry, so I loved this assignment. It’s only worth 1 star, which maybe should be worth more, but oh well.

Me Who? Exactly What?
This is a poetry read of a Shel Silverstein poem, entitled “The Meehoo with an Exactlywatt” and I read it for the “Poetry Reading” audio assignment. I like this poem because it reminds me of how homophonic the English language is, which just makes it all the more confusing.…

Poetry Reading for ds106
The audio assignments for ds106 have intimidated me a bit more than the design or visual assignments. As a result, I started with Poetry Reading because it didn’t scare me as much as others. This poem, The Country, by Billy Collins is one of my all time favorites.
