Description
This no-prep, engaging, CCSS-aligned slam poetry unit is packed with student-centered spoken word poetry activities and assignments designed to promote inquiry and self-expression as students explore and write slam poetry / spoken word poetry. Writing poetry can be a fun, interactive, student-centered experience that engages every learner! Build writing, reading, speaking and listening, and meta-cognitive skills with these digital and print resources for Google Drive.
These resources provide the complete slam poetry experience, from exploration to analysis, from writing to performance. Your students will understand and appreciate slam poetry, but they will also learn strategies for how to write it well. I use these materials in my own classroom and have carefully revised and structured them so that they are effective and engaging.
