After Mrs. Coffey's 'dramatic reading' presentation the students of grade three were very motivated and excited about the prospect of performing. The students searched through many many poetry books with the help of Mr. Owen and selected poems that they liked. They could work by them selves or in a group no bigger than three. Mrs. Coffy came back to workshop with them to help them improve their dramatic readings. This was the criteria for a good dramatic performance that the students of 3.3 created:
