Stories and poetry should be read aloud for certain reasons. One reason is so the student reads the text accurately. They should also be reading it at an appropriate rate and with expression. Reading prose and poetry orally should be done frequently.
Read the poem and answer the questions about reading it orally:
Stomping along the trail, With riders and supplies on their backs They carry, transport, and assist Tribe members make the elephants rely upon them. Up on their back legs The animals follow the commands Trainer whips his lead Applause for the entertainment. Behind bars and trapped Elephants wander and live Every so often people wave to them They eat and sleep, eat and sleep, eat and sleep. In a large vast space, Roaming for miles and acres Still in captivity Seems like the wild Using their trunks as defensive tools To ward off an attacking cheetah, These animals must fend off predators And search for food themselves."
