Poetry Slam
Great way to celebrate the end of a poetry unit
Students demonstrate comprehension in an engaging and creative way
Lower level language, engages all students in all parts of the process (from brainstorming, to creating to assessment)

How to Slam
Throughout the unit, use poems as a “Message du jour”. www.momes.net
Highlight poetry forms, have students work with the vocabulary.
Have some students “present” the poems
1 criterion: “make the words come alive”

Poetry Slam
Brainstorm phrases, key words
Students write poems
Class develops a criteria /10 for the Slam, based on watching and listening to the examples given in class
Students “make the words come alive”
Each student gives a “mark” /10

Six word stories
What makes up a story?
Collect student responses: highlight that it denotes CHANGE
Using photos ask students to talk about the story in the photo

Les histoires à six mots
Encourage them to think about what happened before, during and could happen after?
High level language: tell the story orally (in small groups)
Low level language: key words (ie: verbs and nouns), as a class

Learning to Fail
Learn to become vulnerable
We need to model taking risks, so that our students feel comfortable taking risks
Recognize where we are and what is right for us in that moment.
“I have not failed. I have found 1,000 ways that do not work.” – Thomas Edison

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and then go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
