This competition is a chance for you to meet new people, have fun, and possibly earn some cash. Here at Nease High School, we have so many different clubs and activities for the students, but this one takes the cake for being one of the best because it is at a national level.
Now if you are interested in this competition you have to decide what poems you want to do first. On the left of this text box shows a space where you can click that should take you to a website that gives you all of the different list of poems you can choose from, but they have to follow these rules: One must be 25 lines or fewer, and one must be written before the 20th century. One poem may be used to meet both criteria, and may be the student’s third poem.
Once you have your poems you need to memorize them and record you reading each of your poems, make sure that each of your poems are seperate files. Once you complete that fill out the google form below and submit it.
