Writing your Spoken Word

Now that we have made connections between a community member and a historical figure, it is time to plan and organize your ideas. Use your handout titled, "Getting Started with Spoken Word" to help you begin.

• Use a mind map to help you organize your thoughts. Remember, you are writing a spoken word to help celebrate your community member's resilience.

• Explore ideas and look at the examples provided to help you begin the process. 

• Add poetic value to your work by exploring literary ideas. For example, if symbolism is important, you should use references and/or descriptions that symbolize resilient attributes.

 

Resilience Café Invitation Letter

Use your notes on letter writing to write a formal letter of invitation to your resilient community member. You are inviting them to a Resilience Café presentation night to be held at G.P. Vanier High School on December 18th. Explain that you are performing a spoken word that celebrates their resilience.
