Poetry Slam Winners, Wednesday, April 27th
1st Place ~ Samantha Glasper
2nd Place ~ Fred Perry
3rd Place ~ Shatoni Brown
In honor of National Poetry Month, the Media Center hosted a Phoenix Poetry Slam on Wednesday, April 27, during lunch. The poetry slam was an event where students recited/performed their own original poems in front of an audience and a panel of judges. The top three winners received Visa gift cards ranging from $25 to $100.
Poet, author and Professor Louise McKinney, Georgia Perimeter College, facilitated a poetry slam workshop for Phoenix students on Wednesday, April 20 during lunch. In the workshop, McKinney demonstrated how to “perform” an original poem, offer suggestions on movements/body language, and provided insight on what judges may look for.
The slam guidelines included the following:
The poem must be original and written by the performing student.
The language in the poem must be school appropriate.
A typed copy of the poem must be submitted to the judges.
Thank you for joining us as we celebrated National Poetry Month in April!
