Hello Poets

Let's continue to explore the various articles that celebrate and/or question the Spoken Word movement.  It is a big component of allowing kids to find an "in" to literature and language.  However, some feel that there are inherent problems within the genre as well.  Read, Annotate, and Synthesize - use Ethos, Pathos, Logos - as we read, write, and discuss.!
