‘Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.’
-William Wordsworth
Poetry Recitation is one of the most important and effective modes of learning a language and appreciating a piece of Literature.
In order to develop self-expression, poise and confidence of the young students, the English Department of Indian School Sohar organized the English Poem Recitation Competition on 17th October 2022 in the school auditorium, under the able guidance of the Principal, Ms. Sanchita Verma and Head of English Department Ms. Divya Johari.
