My sister and I scanned the internet looking for poems that we really liked and then recorded ourselves reciting them. It was interesting because when I showed my chosen poem, 'If,' to my parents, they were surprised and told me that they had been waiting for a special moment to share this poem with me. But then they agreed now was a perfect time to read and understand this wonderful poem about becoming a man. I met with my grandparents on a virtual call and recited my poem.
They enjoyed hearing and seeing the poem recited so much that my sister and I decided to record more poems and short stories, and submitted them to the United Way’s project of promoting literacy with under-served children. We made a whole production out of it, putting on costumes, selecting backgrounds, etc. It was excellent. In summary, even though we stayed at home, we still shared with many people!
