Spoken Word

With an emphasis on performance based poetry, students will focus on the aesthetics and word-play within poetry. We will watch various videos of high school poetry slam contestants, as well as famous poetry slam greats. Various prompts will be introduced to the group to help provide participants with focus, themes, perspective, goals, and topics. The conclusion of this session will require participants to participate in a poetry slam, and finalists will be selected by the group and guest judges.

Bring an iPad or pencil & paper.
