Watch & Read
Check out these videos of kids performing poems that they wrote.
Notice the rhythm of the words they are saying. Slam poetry is a form of poetry that is spoken from the heart about an experience or feeling that the speaker knows. It doesn’t have to rhyme, but it usually has a rhythm that sounds good when spoken.
