  1. The Imagery chosen to reflect the tone of the poem strikes at the emotions. I felt as If I were hearing this from a friend, and old lost friend. Feeling overwhelmed with sadness. I read the poem in the textbook and found that you captured its essence. Well done!

  2. Hearing the tone of this poem makes me very sad, it catches my attention. The images chosen had strong, and deep sadness. I felt the want to help this person from drowning.

  3. You set the tone really well with your pictures, you music selection and with the pace that you spoke. You made me feel as though I was there and I too-like Katherine-wanted to help the person to keep them from drowning. Good job portraying this poem!

  6. On behalf of Vanessa C. "This was fantastic! I could feel his pain, the desperate call for help! Your tone was absolutely perfect! The Images suited this poem and were timed perfectly. I think you mastered the movie maker! Overall you did a fantastic job understanding this poem, the situation, the tone, and the images. Great work! Loved the music as well, it added a lot to the tone."

  7. This is a great video. The sadness of this video reminds me of the nature accident in Slave Lake recently. The video itself suits the video very well and the music as well.
