Performance Poetry
The National Poetry Slam (NPS) is the largest team performance poetry event in the world. Teams from all over North America, and a few from other places converge in a different city every summer for a week of poetry, revelry and competition. (Taken from http://www.poetryslam.com/ )
Please watch the following clips:

Poem #3
After watching the clips and exploring http://www.poetryslam.com/ , please write a full page reacting to what you saw and/or what you learned from exploring the world of performance poetry.
Questions to consider:
- How were the poems delivered?
- How were the poets different from one another? Alike?
- Did you learn anything new?
- Did you get any idea about what you would like to bring to your own work?
- Is there something you would like to be sure to avoid?
This 1 page reflection is due at the end of class. You also had a poem due on Monday. Are you all caught up? Please stay organized!
