tape description:  
 people invented poetry as they help to remember things. before the invention of writing, there was no other way but to remember important things. people early discovered that rhyme and rhythm were very helpful when they are trying to remember things. so they made poems to help them remember all the things they needed to know and passed on from generation to generation. for example to remember their history. they recited great stories about their ancestors and the wars that were fought.
(collect the answers from the students.)
