Create a presentation
EXAMPLE: My Brother ate my smartphone, by Ken Nesbitt.
The rhyme is ABCB, the structure is made up of 5 even verses and there is not really a
deeper meaning to it. It’s mostly about the brother who ate a smartphone and became smart by it!

Create a presentation
Create a short presentation (+/-10 minutes) in which you introduce your poem/song text to the rest of the class through reading it aloud followed by an interactive exercise and concluded by why you as a group chose this poem.
There are millions of possibilities and you are free to think of other options.
Be creative!
Do keep in mind that:
You only have 10 min
Each member of your group needs to participate in the presentation
The rest of the class needs to interactively explore the poem with you
The most creative presentation will receive a prize
