Favorite
Poem Project
The
Favorite Poem Project has created an audio and
video archive of Americans from all ages and backgrounds
reciting their favorite poems. Learn about the
project here by clicking on The Project,
then move on to The Videos to
sample videos and read the poems that were chosen.
As a class, create your own "Favorite Poem Project"
by interviewing classmates, teachers, and administrators
in your school. If possible, videotape their readings
and give a showing of your finished project.
