What teachers are saying about using this poetry slam writing resource:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of my all-time favorite resources from TPT. This pack walks students through the process of creating authentic and meaningful poetry. My students who told me they hated poetry before doing our slam told me they absolutely doing this.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students loved this activity. They were hesitant to start our poetry unit but had a lot of fun writing their poems. It was super helpful to show them examples of slam poetry and to have them fill out the organizer to get their thoughts in order. Definitely worth the buy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such an awesome product! I was pleasantly surprised at the result my reluctant 8th graders gave me. Thank you for making the presentation editable. I was able to update and add my own materials needed for certain classes! Definitely worth every penny!
