Thing #20

This is a video of Maya Angelou reading "Still I Rise" with accompanied pictures.

I love youtube and have sometimes gotten lost for hours watching one video after another. I chose this video to show how I can use youtube in the classroom. Poetry is sometime difficult for high school students. It might help their understanding if they can hear the author reading the work to get a feel of where the words are stressed and how it should sound. I could also pull clips from movies based on literature.
