Program Description
Spoken word is an art form which engages students in the exploration of other types of art, current events and their place in them. By teaching the poetry slam format, students are required to learn and adhere to specific structures while working together as a team. Poetry in this format alleviates stresses related to directly expressing feelings and hopes, and encourages self-worth, confidence, presentation skills, as it enhances literacy knowledge and appreciation for the creation of both written and performed language.
