With access to this course, Get Lit students will use an interactive poetry app that is focused on improving both writing and performance skills.

This allows students and their peers to write, revise, perform, score, and publish their poetry, providing an innovative way to bring data to the arts.

In this course, poetry will come to life! This 12-week, standards and social-emotional learning-aligned curriculum makes English exciting! Students will “claim” poems that speak to them and learn to write and perform their own Spoken Word response poems. For grades 9-12, Get Lit Essential uses student voice to increase engagement and literacy while empowering creative expression.
