Notes:
- Congratulations to Forrest for memorization (1 pt for every 3 lines of text
he managed=+6)
- Pay attention to punctuationsome came out a little sing-songy since you
stopped at lines end, but the revolving speakers aided in this a bit as the
poem went on.
- The wandering people did at times make it difficult to get to the mic which
confused those unfamiliar with your poem.

(1):
Great start!
Look up more frequently when reading/ practice makes perfect!
Smooth and precise enunciation---you are both improving here
Could do more with gestures---half-hearted!
(2):
Attention to punctuation would eliminate sing-song quality
Sound effects really added to drama and performances impact---made us
smile!
More movement would have helped. Ash was doing a great job with this
before, just needed more commitment and inclusion of the Megans

Keep hands out of pockets

Make more eye-contact
Tone and facial expressions were VERY good
A little movement at the end really capped this off well!
