During this camp, students will engage with a variety of poems in unique and inspirational ways. They'll write their own poems and muster all their courage to share their poems. For students 16 and older, opportunities to submit their original poems to Teen Ink will be provided. Although the exact schedule will vary depending on student interest a general schedule is provided below: Day One: Mad Lib with the Poet Masters Day Two: Blackout Poetry and Found Poetry (you'll need some old books, newspapers, or magazines for this day! Day Three: Rhyme Schemes and Structured Verse Day Four: Free Verse and Spoken Word Day Five: Sharing and Publishing Day!
Learning Goals
- Students will be able to identify and utilize literary techniques used by poets in their writing such as: Rhyme, Alliteration, Simile Metaphor, Symbolism, Point-of View, Climax, Interpreted Meaning, Onomatopoeia, Repetition, Personification, and Hyperbole.
- Students will explore poetry as a medium of written and spoken expression. The goal is for students to gain an appreciation for poetry as a medium for authors to express commentary on the pressing social issues or ism’s such as racism, sexism, ageism, classism, etc. that have affected our lives and so many lives before us.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Some poems may have a political or social message at odds with your own beliefs. These will be shared and analyzed for poetic skill, not their political content. Additionally, there may be some words that some families find offensive. I make every effort to locate poetry that does not include such language but offensive language can be a very powerful tool and can often be found making a strong point within the context of spoken word poetry. If it is present it will not be gratuitous nor excessive.
