As poets and teachers ourselves, we know the power of the spoken word in the classroom, so we asked some of the best contemporary spoken word and slam poets to share their best classroom-appropriate poems to create this collection. This means you will not have to sift through this book with a highlighter to try and find the F's and the S's and the B's and the Z's. We've provided poems from national slam champs, world slam champs, fellow teachers, and poets. We also included some amazing lessons in its companion book for the teacher, sold separately.
