Notes de l'éditeur
- How to do this activity in class: 1. Write down the poem on the blackboard. Ask the students who they think is taking part in the conversation ( teacher and student; parent and child, etc.) 2. Divide the class into two groups. 3. Read the poem to the class, using proper intonation/melody. ( Of course the rhythm may be changed to something more modern like rap if the students are not into jazz). 4. Read the poem again, making the students repeat, but in groups - the first group is the teacher and the second is the student. 5. The students do it without your help. 6. As a follow-up you can ask the students to write their own Jazz chants.
