Action Before IB: Part 1

I contacted my classmate Audrey, who has an interest in poetry, about my idea for an SIS Poetry Slam. She was enthusiastic and agreed to collaborate.

I then emailed our English Teacher, Ms. Hartcher:

Hi Ms. Hartcher,

Audrey and I think it would be a great idea to start up a Poetry Slam at SIS next year. We think that it is beyond time to introduce our fellow students to performance poetry. It will allow poetic talents to showcase their artistry in a non-traditional way, as well as being a novel approach to raise enthusiasm about poetry at South Island.

(Veiled, or not so veiled, in all that, is a CAS project.)

We'd like to know if you support the idea and if you'll help us get it passed. If so, could we please meet with you before the end of term to discuss the idea further?

Many thanks,
Kenneth and Audrey

Ms. Hartcher replied today, saying:

Dear both
Awesome idea - I think Mr Kane tried to get this going this year. I will chat to him on Monday - or you could email him.
thanks
Ms H

So that's the progress for now.
