Poetry Slam

I just did a Poetry Slam this week. I did it for the first time last year. My kids love it. I teach 2nd grade. I hung black paper across the room for the back drop. Then I set up a table (train table, very sturdy) as my stage. The students stood on it and used a microphone to talk. I had a lamp shining on them as a spotlight and also one shining on an easel that held their poster to represent the poem. They chose to do either a poem they wrote or one from a book. We turned the lights off and I set up a disco and mirror ball in the room. All of the audience snapped instead of clapped, it was really neat. They had a choice to either wear a costume or do a poster to represent the poem. Extra credit for both. It was fun.
