Poetry Festival
Reciting poetry can help enrich the students’, vocabulary as well as improve their pronunciation in English. It also gives them a taste of public speaking and helps develop their confidence.
In this competition, students from 3rd grade to 8th grade have to recite a poem of their choice from a pre-selected list provided by ESU Chile.
Interschool Participant Winners must send their MP4 format video presentation to the ESU Poetry Chairperson, via email esu_poetry@esu.cl for the ESU competition by Monday 19th October 2020. Our experts in public speaking will evaluate their delivery, focusing on their expression, clarity and interpretation of the poem.
Every year, students from all over the country participate in this competition, learning and sharing with others as well as taking the first step towards public speaking.
