The Challenge!

 

• In pairs, create a SLAM protest poem

 

• Select a topic for your slam poem. It can be on anything you feel passionate about- remember you have to be protesting against something. Think: any topical issues that you may know/ feel passionately about. For example: refugees, society's pressure on girls, body image, technology.. etc. You could even focus on issues that we've discussed in our texts this semester- war, etc.

 

• Points for every time you use a poetic device

 

• Extra points if you perform with conviction!
