SLJ Step it up: Poetry Slam Tahi

Today, I learnt more about poetry slam performance in Summer Learning Journey Task.

A poetry slam performance is poetry that combines performance, writing, competition, and audience participation.

First, I watched some videos of people performing poetry slam.

Next, I wrote down some ideas about what I think makes a good performance.

A good performance is when the poem has rhyming words, poet is confident, their voive has different pitches and they include action by moving their body.

I learnt how to be good performer while telling my poem to the audience.

I liked doing this task because I got to learn about stuff about poetry slam that I didn't know about.

    Chris here, from the Summer Learning Journey.

    Pai mahi on doing another Poetry Slam task! Glad you enjoyed it! You’re right about the importance of movement and changes in voice tone being important to performing poetry. Have you ever seen professional poets perform? It’s really something!

    I saw in your slide about summer there was a picture of a film camera. Are there any movies in particular you are excited to see?

    Looking forward to what else you post during the Summer Learning Journey!

    1. Kia ora Chris,

      Thank you for commenting on my blog post and the feedback too.
      No, I haven't seen a professional poet perform in real life but I have seen videos of people performing it on the stage from the Summer Learning Journey site.
      Those poets looked so confident and amazing.
      I am very excited to watch the new Spiderman movie: No way home at the theatre.
      What is your favourite thing to do in summer with your family? And why?

      Thank you so much!
      I am looking forward to your reply.

      Anytime! And they are definitely amazing, tēnā koe for your kind words.

      No Way Home is fantastic, hope you enjoy! And for the most part my family and I watch a lot of film and comedy, and we go out for coffee a lot, which I enjoy.


      Tēnā koe,
      Chris
