Objective: Students will be able to analyze the techniques used by spoken word poets in order to determine if the techniques are being used effectively to enhance each poem's meaning.

Do-Now: Today we are going to be watching examples of spoken word poetry (poetry which is performed by the author.)  How can poetry be performed?  How can an author use his/her voice/body to enhance the meaning of his/her poetry?  Describe a poem you've seen performed and what the author did to make the performance more powerful/meaningful.

Today: 1) Spoken Word Poetry: Watch SIX videos and complete a chart for each performance.
