RECITATION - AN INTEGRAL PART OF TEACHING POETRY

RECITATION : An important element in classroom teaching. Allow me to say that a language teacher is like a person who describes a beautiful flower to a group of people whose eyes have been blind folded. The meaning of the poem reaches the students only when the children learn to recite it with proper intonation and modulation . I would like to present a demo. You know, sometimes we ignore the insignificant creatures like an ant or a fly. their torture does not appeal to our heart . It is applicable to all strata of social life. The poet condemns this attitude by calling it a thoughtless cruelty. A creature has a normal process of death as mother nature  has set it. Such as a deer is killed by a tiger is a natural process but a deer shot by us is cruelty. So nature decides the life span and the process of death. We must not underestimate the magnitude of pain by judging the size of the creature . COPY AND PASTE THE LINK AT YOUR ADDRESS BAR https://drive.google.com/open?i...
