Public Poll: Please Vote for the Best Recital (see the post below)

And the winner is... GEORGE BUNTILOV (8 votes). Our heartfelt congratulations!!!
Anna K. is the second best with 4 votes.
Julia M. has got 2 votes.
Rita K. received one vote.


I hope it was an enriching experience for you. Having struggled with voice recorders, cookies, uploading and downloading, you have definitely become more technically savvy . I also hope that you've learned something about reading and feeling poetry. I wish we hadn't had all those browser-related issues. I am sure more people would have participated in our poll. Anyway, thanks to those of you who took the challenge. You did very well!



Please kindly leave your comments on how we have scored!

Hi Anna and students,

Eep...The thing won`t let me vote and it tells me my cookies are disabled,and I don`t even know what cookies are.I`ll try to fix it before the day is over,but you never know.Anyway,my vote goes to George B. as he did a great job adjusting his voice to the slightest changes of the mood of the poem and his reading corresponded with the music he`d chosen.I could really "see things" as I was listening to George`s reading.
And yes,I know how to disable cookies,but my Explorer doesn`t even have a single toolbar(
Anyway,thank you, Anna Vladimirovna,for giving us this challenging and entertaining task.

Guys, I think you should work harder on the technical side of the issue. THere are way too many noises and rattles. But, all in all, good job! Looks like you are enjoying it.

Vikram7, I agree with you wholeheartedly;my reading was a fine example of random noisiness,but that is a fault one could try to overlook,since I`m a dimbulb when it comes to anything technical. I know it`s hardly an excuse,but well...At least this task has given me an idea of how to operate a voice recorder. Let`s hear it for broadening the mind =)

Hi Students
I am an English teacher from Siwtzerland here to vote on how you did. I think I can tell if you really felt what you were reading, and I would give Anna K. my vote, with George a close runner up.

Keep up the great work :-)

Thanks everybody.
As for me, I was deeply impressed by Julia's recital. From my point of view, the intonation was really corresponding to the poem's text.
And I liked the music and the pronunciation.
Btw: I couldn't vote either, although cookies are not restricted in my browser.

:)
George B.

The link looks fine when you open the comments page. When you are in a comments writing mode, it looks curtailed.
I'll break the URL for the sake of deciphering:

Did my link help you to solve the cookies problem?
I have IE 7, and it worked out just fine for me.

All the recitals were enjoyable and very creative, and it was quite a difficult choice to make, but if I could fix the cookies I would vote for Rita because of the tasteful background and manner.

Hey guys! You all did a really good job! I hope you guys keep on blogging and enjoying literature!

Kindest regards from Brazil!

Dear everyone!

Without giving a vote to anyone I'd say it is a really interesting job you have done and there are many ways you can work further on the issue! Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, my name's Monica and I teach English in Brazil. I thought the whole project a great idea and you've done a fine job!

George and Anna K. impressed me the most for different reasons (Goerge for the paced reading and excellent use of background music, Anna K. for her interpretation), so I would perhaps call it a tie?

Keep up the good work!
A hug from warm Brazil

I just got an email from Prof.Evgeny P. who is a prominent mathematician. He is also experiencing these cookies glitches and couldn't vote online.

That's what he wrote:
"I choose Anna K. The reason is extremely simple. For me, a Russian speaker, she was most the most understandble.

Dear Eduardo, Ilya, Vikram, the Magus, Ronaldo, Elena, Monica and Evgeni:

Thank you so much for taking the time to support our project and encourage us along the way! Your words of appreciation are very timely and dear to us. We hope to see you all again. We would appreciate your insights on issues of language and literature.

With admiration and gratitude,
Anna Filatova
