Poetry Slam - East Grand Rapids


Subject(s): English/Music
School: EGR
 Grade Level: 8th grade
 
Author(s): Smith   
  
Synopsis: At the end of this unit, students will understand that poetry is an art that has not died (competing in poetry slams is a relatively new way of delivering verse). Students will also hopefully see that poetry can be fun and that it is a way to communicate with one another in an expressive way. They will examine the art of poetry by reading, writing, and performing poetry.
   
Driving Question: How does poetry fit into our lives today? How does oral performance affect an audience’s understanding of the written word?
