This is the first of a podcast series for and about my English Honors II class. In this podcast, I explain the assignment for students to write a poem with Anglo Saxon attributes, and Alexandria reads her Beowulfish poem, "Marching Band."
Horns held high, they marched forward.
Their hard work was apparent in their precision
Each step struck the ground simultaneously
Each individual moved synchronically,
creating a union of one.
As they came to an abrupt halt,
Sound poured out of their shining-companions
It filled the stadium, reaching every ear.
The familiar melody and attuned harmony,
exhilarated the excited crowd.
Their synchronicity dazzled the crowd
As they marched off the field with illuminous pride
The crowd cheered wildly,
Praising their proudly performed presentation.
