Hi Pat,
It's good to find out how much you enjoyed the reciting. I continued that system down to my last days as a teacher. Commiting words to memory is a great brain stimulator. A few years ago at a tea party a prize was offered to any of the party goers who was brave enough to sing or recite. I grasped the opportunity to recite The Glove and The Lions and got the prize. My children did not learn poems at school, but they studied them.I've been a judge at choral speaking competitions for the past few years. It was a pleasure doing so. Hope these competitions continue.
