While "teaching" the poem, it is really different to just speak into a camera than actually being in front of a class and teaching the poem. I would prefer to be in the classroom actually interacting with students, but this is a good tool to use and can broaden the way we teach.
To introduce the poem, I started patting the beat on my legs, then I recited the whole poem. I then patted my legs for another 4 beats and then did the ti's and ta's. In a normal situation, I would've introduced the poem and recited it in sections then put the whole poem together. I then would've wrote out the notation of the poem (ti's and ta's) and then introduce the ti's and ta's. After a few repetitions I would say the whole poem again, and maybe have the students make up their own body percussion.
As I watched the video of the correct way to say the poems. I believe I did well with quoting it and getting the rhythm correct. To make my teaching better, I would have slowed down, and maybe introduce the poem by telling a story or something. To just jump into it is sometimes not the best way to go about teaching it, but for the most part I think I did well. I maybe would've added some more inflection to my voice or made my tone sound brighter, cheerful, but I believe I did well.
