AP English Theatrics and Slam Poetry

Today, 12th grade English classes performed some very faaabulousss student-written plays. They were full of glorious literary nerd jokes, recitations of Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty," Gwendolyn Brooks' "One Wants a Teller," animated performances of Shakespeare's Seven Ages of Man, and SLAMS. Here at Tapestry, we can't get enough of slam poetry.

Here are some of the pieces that students incorporated into their plays:


Anis Mojgani's "Shake the Dust:"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qDtHdloK44

Sarah Kay's "For My Daughter:"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sSfbQk7DxE

Suheir Hammad's "What I Will:"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAj1hsXp18c

Mike's "Thinking about You:"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0QiFy8dmX0

Enjoy!
