Today’s poem is called “Everybody’s Heard,” by Floetry. These women are extremely talented, so I think you’ll enjoy the performance.
When I present a spoken word performance to students, I always introduce it with a a few questions related to the content of the poem. Usually, these questions are a way to get the students to think about the topic and start to invest themselves in it. Students are more likely to understand content when they understand that it is relevant to them. Here are my questions for this poem:
1. On a scale of 1-10, how much do you think our lifestlyes are affecting our envoirnment?
2. How do you think our envoirnment tells us it is in trouble?
3. What efforts can you make to help out our envoirnment?
