Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can perform one stanza of Maya Angelou's 'Still I Rise' with a focus on conveying the speaker's power.

Show transcript
There is a contrast between the way the speaker and those who have oppressed her are presented in 'Still I Rise'. When performing a poem, you should consider how you want to engage with your audience. You should make informed decisions about the pace, volume and tone of your voice. You should aim to know your material off by heart so you can look at the audience most of the time.
