Language in the Circle
and
Choral Reading
When language is dense with

with performance syntax you. You
can also organize it into a choral
reading and have students work in
groups to organize choral readings.

Making Shakespeare


First Murderer : But who did bid thee join with us?

Third Murderer : Macbeth.

Second Murderer : He needs not our mistrust, since he delivers
Our offices and what we have to do
the direction just.

First Murderer: Then stand with us.
The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day

Third Murderer : Hark! I hear horses.

Remix Poetry
London by William Blake

I wander thro' each charter'd street,
Near where the charter'd Thames does flow,
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

In every cry of every Man,
In every Infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forg'd manacles I hear.

How the Chimney-sweeper's cry
Every black'ning Church appalls;
And the hapless Soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down Palace walls.

But most thro' midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlot's curse
Blasts the new born Infant's tear,
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse.

Students Job
Make an original poem of 8-12 lines.

It should be half of London by William Blake.

It should be half of one of the other works
(Sinatra, Gaga, Springsteen, your choice (with
approval of teacher).

London by William Blake

I wander thro' each charter'd street,
Near where the charter'd Thames does flow,
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

In every cry of every Man,
In every Infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forg'd manacles I hear.

How the Chimney-sweeper's cry
Every black'ning Church appalls;
And the hapless Soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down Palace walls.

But most thro' midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlot's curse
Blasts the new born Infant's tear,
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse.
I Walk Alone by Green Day


I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street

On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'til then I walk alone
London's Boulevard of Broken Dreams


I walk a lonely road,
The only one that I have ever known,
And mark in every face I meet,
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
In every cry of every man,
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams,
In every voice, in every ban,
I walk this empty street.
But most, through midnight streets I hear
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating,
Blasts the new-born infant's tear,
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me.
