Poetry Slam:
On the 6th of November transition years had a poetry workshop.
Steve visited the school to help us grasp a different view on poetry.
To start, Steve spoke to us about modern day poetry and how we don’t notice everyday things we admire being poetry e.g. songs.
Throughout the day we did different writing activities to help prepare ourselves for poetry writing.
Steve then showed us two videos, the were people reciting modern day poems, they were about bullying and teen pregnancy. I found the videos quite moving.
Afterwards we began writing our own poems, we then uploaded them onto Inspireireland website.
Reflection:
Personally I found the workshop very enjoyable, I thought Steve was funny and he did an excellent job at making a very boring topic both fun and interesting.
I would highly recommend the poetry slam workshop to next years TY’s.
