Monday

June 12th is Man of Steel Day!

1. Today you will be selecting a poem to recite and record into Office 365. 

2. WHERE DO I FIND A POEM? You are to select a poem from the following website: http://www.poetryinvoice.com/poems - DO NOT USE ANY OTHER WEB SITE.

3. WHERE DO I RECORD IT?

You can record your poem recitation directly into Office 365 using a phone. You will need to install the OneNote app on your phone, or work with someone who already has it installed. Create a page in your assignment folder called "Poem recitation". You can audio record directly onto the page. Just click beneath the page title as if you were going to add text. On an iPhone, an option to type, add a photo, or record audio appears above the keyboard. I am guessing an Android phone will have a similar option.

4. Here is the scoring rubric - I will mark you on audio only.
