We have been working on workshopping our slam poems in class.  It has been very fun listening to one another's work and helping each other make the poems better.  Also we have watched a few more slam poets perform to continue to be aware of the expectations we have on us next Wednesday during our own Slam Poem contest!

Watch Gina Loring present "Somewhere There is a Poem"
