After performing our slam poems, we will watch the Def Poetry Jam hosted by Mos Def. As you watch the video performances, take notes IN YOUR JOURNAL about what you notice about the effectiveness of the performances and/or ideas for your own poems. Listen for that imagery!
After listening/watching Def Poetry, take a look at Poetry Out Loud, 2015 (Vermont, PBS). Compare/contrast performance/poetry styles.
Celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. day by taking the day off to reflect about Civil Rights, Black culture & the contributions to our country. Feel free to write in your journal all weekend!
Journals are due WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20 at end of class period.
