5/25: Spoken Word

May 23, 2017 By

1. Come up with a topic that you feel strongly about and watch 3 spoken word poems on your topic.  Take notes on presentation tools that each performer used (what was most effective?  What made them different?)

Also, due Thursday, a spoken word poem on that subject! For heading purposes, this is poem #10.

Due 5/11: Beat Poem

May 9, 2017 By

1. Writing–Original beat poems! Your beat poem should reflect what you know to be true about beat poetry in terms of theme, voice, style, and form. So, when we hear or read your poem, it should be clear that this is a beat poem. One very specific requirement though: you should get funky with form (i.e. Dog).
