Oral Interpretation Unit

Hello, my name is Jordan Coble. I am in 7th grade and attend Charter Smith Flat. The poem I will be presenting to you today is titled "The Walrus and the Carpenter" by Lewis Carroll...

Those are the words I will be saying on Tuesday (or Thursday). Then I will begin my poem...my 3-page, 18-stanza poem! And it's all memorized. (phew!)

I've worked very hard on this poem, because I really want to get picked to perform my poem during the Oral Interpretation Unit. Then I get to perform it at a presentation festival or something of the sort.

I'm not sure if I'm going to get chosen or not, because my poem is more comical then the sad, dramatic ones most of my friends picked. But then, one day at school, Mrs. Phelan said that each of us would perform their poem in front of her - just her, and no one else - and so I performed "The Walrus and the Carpenter" for her. She said it was really good. YAY!!!! Maybe I will get picked after all! :)

Hey, here's something fun for you guys out there: try to name some other poems by Lewis Carroll. Leave a post and see how many you can name (DO NOT cheat and look on websites listing his poems!) :).
