You have to prepare a videoclip based on a poem by William Blake. Deadline is May 13 (Monday). That day you will show the video, give a presentation of your work to the class and explain the meaning of the poem. This activity will account for a 10% of your final term mark.
Follow these guidelines for your videoclip:
-Your voice must be recorded reciting the poem. Check the pronounciation of difficult words (here, for example) Don´t just copy and paste one videoclip from the net (I´ll notice!)
-Each line of the poem (more or less) should be accompanied by an image that matches it. You have to show me you understand the poem. Creativity is very welcome.
-It´d great if you could include good background music that relates to the topic of the poem.
-The videoclip and class presentation can be done individually or in groups of 2/3 students (no more than 3 people per group please). The list of teams must be turned in on April 26 (Friday) the latest. Include also the name of poem you have chosen.
-Have a look at some videoclips made by my students past years (here and here).
Two links where you can explore some of Blake's most famous poems (but there are many more websites):
-Here you are a list of 10, and they are commented.
-Another website with more poems.
"William Blake said we were surrounded by angels and spirits. We must just open our eyes a little wider, look a little harder". (Michael Almond´s Skellig)
