Contents Poetry In Voice | Les voix de la poésie | Teacher’s Guide | poetryinvoice.com Welcome to Poetry In Voice/Les voix de la poésie, a national, bilingual poetry recitation contest for high-school students in Canada. Poetry In Voice was founded by Scott Griffin, Chairman and Founder of The Griffin Trust For Excellence In Poetry. The Griffin Trust For Excellence In Poetry raises aware- ness of the crucial role poetry plays in our cultural life, a mission shared by Poetry In Voice. Recitation helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage. Their ability to communicate complex ideas in powerful language and to present themselves well in public will help them to succeed in the future. Public speaking is a crucial life skill, a fact that is reflected in the increased emphasis on oral communication in curricula across the country. As a poet myself, one of the most exciting and rewarding perks of working on this ambitious project has been talking to students about the poems they have discovered through our anthology. In some lucky cases, we have been able to introduce a finalist to the poet who wrote the very poem the student had learned by heart. Drawing meaningful connections between contemporary Canadian poets and our next generation of readers is a thrill. I’ve also been impressed with how the students’ per- spectives and personalities animate their pre-20th century selections — the words come alive through their voices. The contest is bilingual and encourages both English- and French-speaking students to explore the rich literary history of Canada’s two official languages by offering three competition streams: English, Bilingual, and French. The contest can be an excellent means of engaging student interest in the learning of English or French as a second or other language, though we recommend students stick to their best strengths and only compete in the Bilingual or French categories if they are truly proficient in French. Thank you for joining us. Damian Rogers Creative Director Welcome “Poetry In Voice takes poetry back to its oral roots — its connection with the voice, with heard rhythm — while connecting with an ancient tradition that has recently been revived in several forms: Poetry as performance. Memorizing a poem is a way of knowing it inside out — in all five of its dimensions.” — Margaret Atwood The Competition Everything you need to know about preparing your students for the contest 2 Poetry In Voice | Les voix de la poésie | Teacher’s Guide | poetryinvoice.com Competition Overview STRUCTURE The Poetry In Voice Recitation Contest follows a pyramid structure that begins at the classroom level. Students advance in the following manner: Step 1: Students memorize and recite one poem in the classroom. Step 2: The best students from the classroom level advance to a school-wide competition. Step 3: School champions advance to the Online Semifinals. A school may have one school champion in each prize stream (English, Bilingual, French). Step 4: The final stage of the competition is the National Finals in the spring. See our website for all deadlines, contest dates, and venue information. Prizes More than $75,000 in prizes are offered at the official contests identified and conducted by Poetry In Voice. The prizes do not apply to other unofficial contests.

No student may be excluded from participation in this competition on the basis of race, colour, religion, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or national origin. Schools may determine eligibility for classroom- and school-level Poetry In Voice pursuant to local law. Homeschooled students must make arrangements to compete at a participating high school in their area. Please see the Rules section of our website for complete eligibility requirements. Classroom time and schedule Poetry In Voice has been designed to fit into a teacher’s busy schedule while supporting curricu- lum requirements (see the Teachers section of our website for an outline of how this contest connects to your provincial curriculum requirements). Teachers may choose to use our optional lesson plans and are encouraged to prepare students for the competition in the classroom over the span of two to three weeks, according to each teacher’s interest and agenda. Preparations will not require full class periods during that time. Some teachers may choose to be available for a few lunchtime or after-school coaching sessions to help students prepare. To accommodate schools’ testing demands and vacation calendars, Poetry In Voice can be imple- mented at the school level any time during the fall or through the early winter. Annual deadlines will be posted on our website; please be sure to organ- ize your school contest in advance of the submission deadline for the Online Semifinals. Don’t be afraid to start small when introducing the competition at your school. Our goal is that the competition will adapt to the unique culture of each school, becoming an anticipated event in the school’s calendar.
