Spoken Word Poem
In humanities, we wrote a spoken word poem about a challenge we had, or a personal experience we went through. Most of our poems were more like stories, but then we transformed them into poems. After we wrote our poems, we learned how to perform them by using body gestures and learning different ways to use our voices. Speeding up, slowing down. Speaking louder, speaking quieter. We also "talked with our hands." When the project was over, we learned how to write and perform slam poetry.
