Today we are going to read together a poem called "This is Not a Small Voice". Before we do that, I would like you to think about the idea of a 'small voice". What do you think the poet means by a "small voice"? Who do you think has small voices? Conversely, who has large ones? Do you think your voice is small or large? Why do you think that? Would you prefer to have a small voice or a large voice? Why do you think that?
