Recording "If"

Welcome to my post that will give you instructions on how to record yourself reciting Rudyard Kipling's poem "If."

Before you get started I want you to be aware of two things:

1) All I'm looking for is your best effort. Don't feel the need to start over and over again if you mess up. That will actually mess up this "experiment." I want you to simply read it through and I'm convinced that when you re-record it three weeks from now, you'll see improvements in my your fluency.

2) FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. This is a classwork grade. Make sure you complete the assignment, and that you don't lose your iPad privilege because your were off-task or irresponsible.
