The one thing about it I'm really nervous about is the recitation- we have to find a passage we like, and then recite it to the class (or out in the hallway in front of a bunch of people). For bonus marks we can recite it at the English Students Association Poetry readings that are held every month at the art gallery accross the street.
So, I'm not looking forward to this because I'm actually quite shy about performing. But I figure if I'm going to do this I may as well go all out and perform it at the poetryreading, right? I'm not sure what I'd like to read- maybe a selection from The Wife's Lament, or The Seafarer. However, I'm very tempted to ask him if it's all right if I do "modern" Old English poetry, and recite (or heaven help me, sing) some of the choral pieces from The Two Towers (especially "The Missing").
It's something I'll have to look into.
