Animal farm project

The words are around the outside of the pig drawing and the colors don't come up very well.

Abuse of language poem.

In the animal farm
there aren't many smart animals
besides the sheep
it was like taking candy from a baby

The pigs use words to rule
pigs,
clever
witty
smart

Bird says, " I don't like the 2 legs bad 4 legs good summarization.
I only have 2 feet and 2 wings
pig convinces, " your wings are an organ so they count as legs"
birds convinced

Some rule with strength and leadership
the pigs use words to rule
pigs,
manipulators
reconfigures
twisters

Poetry out loud performances

Will Farley recited a poem titled "Danse Russe" by William Carlos Williams. The poem was weird. It stated how the person in the poem stood naked in front of his mirror and waved his shirt around while singing softly to himself. Will's performance was magnificent. He kept the audience interested with his funny facial expressions and change in voice but they were necessary and not over the top or silly. The level of difficulty could have been a little harder because the poem was pretty short and a third grader could have read all of the words.

Will does a great job of putting himself in the poem so that when he says it you actually think the poem was written about him. You can tell that he knows the true meaning of the poem because he puts extra delays and emphasis on the important parts like when he says he is meant to be lonely, he slows the poem down. Also he made the audience laugh. After Will's performance I give him overall an 11 out of 12, he did awesome!
