Speaking of the Spoken Word

One of my favorite blogs, SuperForest, posted an awesome TED talk by spoken word poet Sarah Kay. She was inspired by spoken word poetry in high school and now travels throughout the country sharing her passion and teaching/empowering kids how to express themselves through the medium. Project V.O.I.C.E sounds like an awesome project. Maybe I can invite them to do a workshop with my students when I'm teaching in Jacksonville. Not a bad ideaaa!

Making a Damn Difference

My dad posted this video and it got me totally pumped about teaching. I also forgot how much I love slam poetry. This guy is awesome check it out.
