Assignment task:
The Elders Drum by Molly Chisaakay
Write response of approximately 200 words that addresses reactions to the oral presentation and to the written presentation. What made the experience different or similar for you? Reflect on the effect of either listening to or reading a poem. In a response, you go beyond "I like it," or "It's different," and give a thoughtful reaction to a piece of literature and the question. A personal response to literature is the reader's answer to the question: "What are my thoughts and feelings about the two different presentations of this poem? How do I connect to the poem and the question?"
