TASK SIX

FILMING A POEM

1) Each country chooses one national poem. The poem has to be provided in

two versions: in the national language and in English. The poem should

bring the universal message and be understandable for students from all

the countries.

Deadline: 20 November

2) You send the poem to anuka@op.pl providing also all extra information

you would like to be uploaded on the website (an author information,

commentaries, audio files).

Deadline: 20 November

3) The poems are uploaded on the website in both languages (English and

national). Participants from all the countries read all the poems. (If

possible you can provide .mp3 files with a person reading the poem in

national language.)

Deadline: 24 November

4) Each country chooses one poem to be filmed (you can choose your own

national poem). Students analyze the poem and think over the concept of

the film. They prepare a film with the poem as a part of a soundtrack. The

film can show the message of the poem, it can be also just an illustration or

a background for the poem. It is up to the students. The films should not be

longer than 7 minutes unless really needed.

Deadline: 15 December

5) The films are uploaded on the website.

Deadline: 20 December

TECHNICALITIES

The easiest way to upload a film on the website is to put it on Youtube. If you cannot

do that, send them to me (or upload it to any send.it space).

You are also welcome to add all the information and pictures you want (biography of

the poet, remarks on the poem, pictures of students making the film etc). Just send it

to me.
