Objective: Students will be introduced to slam poetry and spoken word poetry by viewing video clips of several poets.
Journal: FREE WRITE (If you can't think of anything you want to write about, tell me about what you plan on doing over Thanksgiving break).
Agenda: 1) Poetry Readings: Students will be given the opportunity to read poems they have written/brought in front of the class for extra credit.
2) Slam Poetry/Spoken Word Poetry Videos: Students will be shown several examples of slam poetry and spoken word poetry via the Smartboard. Students will be asked to compose a short reflection on each piece answering the following questions: What are your initial reactions to the poem? What did you like/dislike about the poem? What did the author do to effectively deliver his/her poem? (Ex. used repetition, changed volume, changed facial expressions, used hand gestures, etc.)
Homework: Create a poem about your Thanksgiving holiday.
