Slam Poetry

Welcome to another post on my blog. Today, I completed another activity for the Creative Writing unit in English. This activity is about Slam Poetry. What we had to do was watch three or more videos of the previous New Zealand Slam Poetry champions. 


THIS IS THE TASK:

  1. Which was your favourite performance? Why?

  2. Write two thoughtful opinions about your favourite piece and support these opinions with specific evidence (quotes) from the text (at least 2) in your discussion.

  3. Extension: Write your own slam poem




All of the videos I watch the Only videos I like is from Sam Strokes, He talks About NewZealand and the Maori tribe, He also talks about World War 1 back ages. World War 1, how New Zealand bled for their spot in the world, "between the Aegean and the Black Sea we made an ally out of an old enemy this nation bled for its place in the world willingly as the Turk baptised in fire". He also talks about the 2010 and 2011 earthquake in Christchurch. He talks about Great-grandparents who died on the beaches of Gallipoli against machine guns.
