Poetry Slam Activity Session 1

Today, we had the first session of the Poetry Slam after-school activity. 2 people signed up. Yes. Two. Luckily, they both came, or else I don't know what we could've done. Heh.

So, we started off by introducing the idea of poetry slam, and each person saying why they were interested in it. And then we watched a few vids on youtube and discussed a little bit (very tiny bit) about them. Then, we each went online and found a poem, and performed it.

It was only a little awkward, and quite fun.

Kinda disappointing that there wasn't a larger turnout, though. I guess the word "Poetry" might have scared them off. In the future, that word should definitely be left off until we've got them snared...
