POEM PROJECT

  We presented this poem to our class. We presented it in a way that the class would be able to understand the use of rhythm and also the use of steady beats. The steady beats are shown by the X's. If you say this poem outloud and clap where the X's are you now have the rhythm and the steady beat to this poem.
The words that are in different colors were our ostnati. The ostinato in red was played with bongo drums. The ostinato in green was played with shakers, and the ostinato in blue was played with sand clappers.
