Casey At The Bat

I have been really enjoying the poetry we have been doing in class this week. Today, we read a poem called Casey At The Bat. I've heard this poem so many times as a kid. In 7th grade, my English teacher had us act out a few plays, one being Casey At The Bat. I remember we set up a baseball field and we 2 teams and dugouts, pretty much everything you need. We had a few different people narrating and some other kids acting as the fans. It was a lot of fun, because in a class of 30, everyone had a role. We did a few other poems dealing with other sports and it added a little bit more fun to what is normally deemed to be a very boring section to study - as poetry is not everyone's favorite thing.
