Hewitt's Guide to Slam Poetry and Poetry
Slam

Tired of the same
old way of sharing poetry? The polite applause, the careful silences,
the sleep inducing mood in the classroom. Do not fear -- help is on the
way.
Grand slam poetry champion Geof Hewitt will show you how to turn
your classroom into a piece of poetry slam heaven. What's
poetry slam? you ask. It's an American Idol-like competition where students get to perform their poems for unqualified judges who rank their performances to the crowd’s cheers and jeers.
It's a chance to
celebrate the sound of poetry, the voices of student poets and last but
not least, the fun of meaningful self-expression. |
