When high school students spend time memorizing and reciting a poem, they develop confidence by engaging deeply with language. Here are my five Cs-things I’ve observed from several years of teaching students through Poetry Out Loud, from selecting a poem to performing at the state competition.
Choice.____31____ Students learn how to search for poems, and they have complete discretion (判断力) over the poem they will perform. Students often gravitate (被吸引) to poems that fit their reading level and also match a personal interest or philosophy, which is great. But there are also lots of unexpected mismatches that end up stretching students’ skills in ways a teacher could not work out.
Concrete learning task. Learning just one poem well gives students a finite and concentrated experience with language. ____32____ I’ve seen students with all manner of challenges get up and do something they thought was impossible, in large part because it involves a single, repeated exercise.
Continuing learning. Students learn a poem that will likely stay with them for years, if not forever. Poems contain mysteries and complexities that reveal themselves slowly- and sometimes even suddenly-over time. ____33____
Confidence. Recitation is the perfect introduction to public speaking skills. All students need to be able to speak effectively in front of others. ____34____Students learn elements of physical presence, voice, speed, volume, and tone without having to present their own work, which is more frightening for most students.
____35____Students are not asked to memorize much anymore, yet many of them take pleasure in the act of repetition and remembering. They like testing themselves and realizing that they can in fact recall lines. For English language learners, many autistic students, and other exceptional learners, reciting poetry is an especially powerful way to understand language and build confidence. For our kids who need small victories, mastering one poem is a welcome relief.
A.Practice memorizing poems.
B.Challenging memory and recall.
C.This is the first step of the exercise.
D.Performing a poem is a bit like acting.
E.And every student can learn one poem.
F.Therefore, it is a lasting course to learn poems.
G.As a result, it is beneficial for students to learn poems.

Is it safe to exercise in hot weather?
___96___In fact, it might even help you get a better night’s sleep. Make sure to stay hydrated (含水的) throughout your session and try to time the workout either at the start or end of the day when the temperatures have dropped. The heatwave makes it all the more important to listen to your body when it’s telling you to stop. ___97___All of these are symptoms of heatstroke (中暑) which can be deadly, after all.
Do you burn more calories in a heatwave?
Working out in hot weather not only pushes your body to work harder to cool down, it also burns more calories in the process. ___98___Thus your heart works harder in hotter temperatures than it would in cooler temperatures, providing an increased calorie and fat burn.
But while working out in a heatwave does in fact burn calories, chances are the heat will also cut your gym session short. ___99___Because your body is working hard to keep you cool while the weather itself means you can exercise for longer.
What is the best form of exercise during a heatwave?

E.An early morning workout is therefore always a better option in the hot weather.
F.If you start feeling dizzy or find your heartbeat rapidly increasing, it’s time to stop.
G.The hotter your body gets, the more blood your heart needs to pump (输送) to force out heat.

Why do people take selfies?

____108____People who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the Syracuse University research found.
Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. ____109____
The Newhouse School’s Associate Professor Makana Chock worked on the study. She said, posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips, our parents and grandparents used cameras to take photos. Before social media, people would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. If you are a nice person, you commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. ____110____
