Hello! The Slam rules...you guys are awesome! Deal with the judges and point totals. The point is the poetry! You are being assessed for your effort, writing, and commitment. I have worked with every single one of you and easily know what you have done...or not done...and the dedication you have put forth. Your grades are and will be accurate and fitting. You have had every opportunity to come and speak with my about your concerns. Many thanks to those who have.
Slam Spoken Word continues tomorrow (Thursday) and commences with the Final Slam on Monday. Enjoy the poems and the comradery!
The Portfolio is due on Friday and we will have a Gallery Walk to comment and celebrate each others efforts and words. You will be expected to comment on classmates work and spend some time reading and reflecting. I am expecting good things. No late work accepted.
Refer to previous posts for mandatory portfolio content. Here are some other requirements.
* Cover Page - Portfolio Title, Name, Date, Class Period
* Page Numbers - pages must be numbered
* Table of Contents - Indicate the poem page, title, and its requirement:
ie: Page 5 - Summer Moon (Sonnet)
Page 6 - Rhonda (Free Verse)

* Acknowledgments/Dedications/Thank Yous/In Memory Of...
(Your page numbers will begin with your Acknowledgments/Dedications page, since it usually comes directly after the Table of Contents)
* About The Author (Usually the last page in a portfolio). Must be written in 3rd Person
You are able to add illustrations, color, photos, different fonts, etc...Your portfolio should be easy to navigate and should not only meet all expectations and requirements...but exceed them. Be proud of your writing and reflect is asuch,
Slam On! Write On! Peace On You!
