This Friday English 2 Honors classes took an in-school field trip to the auditorium for a first annual poetry slam. You could hear the snapping and the cheering all the way up in the English office. Students from all English 2 Honors courses had the chance to take part in performing original poetry or in performing a favorite published poem. In “traditional” slam fashion, there were four judges (seen in the 2nd photo) who rated each performance.
Here are the results:
Jeff Dang won "Most Poetic"
Marshall Moller won "Most Passionate"
Rewo Oshe won "Biggest Risk"
Jack Rasmussen won "Judges' Favorite" and had the highest score.
I was able to stop by for a few poems and really enjoy the student-directed slam and especially loved the genuine cheering for peers. English 2 Honors teachers – Rob Aurich, Katie Janicek, Erin Palmer, and Jill Tylk – sat in the back row, enjoying the performance. (Thanks to Jill for the photos.)
