'My Fair Lady' Has Got Nothing On This


"The rain in Spain", indeed.

I made my students read this crazy poem today in class, called: The Chaos (by G. Nolst Trenite).    It took about ten minutes for them to do the whole thing, and quite honestly, they did much better than I thought they would.  After we finished the poem, I went through each verse with them and pointed out words they mispronounced and helped them all get it right.  I'm going to do this reading again in a few months and see if there has been any progress.

Good stuff,
