LMK Poetry Slam: A Celebration of Creativity & Community

The LMK Paper Planes club sponsored a celebration of creative expression at a The Poetry Slam, showcasing original student writing. Students, invited by an ELA Teacher or Paper Planes advisor, took risks and presented their poetry in front of an audience. Many poems, created during writing workshop in ELA classes, align with IB MYP learner profile characteristics: open-minded, reflective, principled risk takers and inquirers. Several students also presented poems in their native languages including Spanish, Japanese, French and Portuguese.
