Students listened to Sarah Kay's Ted Talk
We looked at a number of poetic devices, and discussed what made the poems flow, and what helped with impact.
Students shared their lists in small groups and pondered the overlap between them (which could be used as a starting point for today's homework).
HMWRK: Create a 12+ line spoken word poem (no maximum). Give it a title. Use enjambment and rhyme for sure, and feel free to use any other devices that come to mind.
Possible topic: Things which are both ordinary and extraordinary at once.
SUBMIT THE POEM IN TEAMS AND BRING A HARD COPY TO CLASS
