English 2 Honors Students Compete in Poetry Slam

 

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.)
