A searing, joyful YA debut about a queer Cambodian American teen's journey to find her voice and step into her legacy, perfect for fans of Ibi Zoboi and Elizabeth Acevedo.Soma Kear's verses have gone viral. Trouble is, she didn't exactly think her slam poetry video through. All she knew was that her rhymes were urgent. On fire. An expression of where she was, and that place...was a hot mess. Following her Ba's deportation back to Cambodia, everything's changed. Her Ma is away trying to help Ba adjust to his new life, and her older sister has taken charge with a new authoritarian tone. Meanwhile, Soma's trending video pushes her to ask if it's time to level up. With her school's spoken word contest looming, Soma must decide: Is she brave enough to put herself out there? To publicly reveal her fears of Ba not returning? To admit that things may never be the same? With every line she spits, Soma searches for a way to make sense of the world around her. The answers are at the mic. From debut author Vichet Chum comes a celebration of Khmer identity, queerness, and embracing the complicated histories that shape who we are and want to be.

21 individual poetry activities that will allow students to play with language, understand form and structure, and be creative. These activities are suitable for rotating stations, bell-ringers, one-time lessons, early finishers, and so much more! Includes traditional options such as haikus and limericks but also more creative and non-traditional options such as a collaborative poem (modified exquisite corpse), turning songs into sonnets, phone number selfie, and boiling down an anecdote into a poem. All to culminate with a Poetry Slam - instructions included! Check the video preview for ALL of the activities. Each activity is set up as its own handout with ALL instructions and examples included - just add paper*, pens, and students! PRODUCT INCLUDES: PDF with printable version of the activity in color and black and white FULL Teacher and Student instructions - NO PREP! Note: I have sorted each poetry activity as low, medium, or high risk for student learning and creativity. The sorting allows for differentiated and scaffolded learning for all of your students. Low risk = strong structure and/or provided words to explore/play (e.g. blackout poetry) to introduce poetry concepts and terms. Medium risk = more challenging structure, less provided wording (e.g. limericks) to build on emerging or established skills and to encourage critical or creative thinking. High risk = challenging structures and full student creation (e.g. sonnets and blazons) to explore new ideas and forms with established skills with a high degree of critical and creative thinking. HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT? Poetry-specific unit. I use it as a way to break through students' discomfort with analyzing poetry. I find that trying to create their own poems demystifies poetry enough that they're willing to take risks to figure out just what William Carlos Wiliams is doing with that red wheelbarrow! National Poetry Month in April. A great start to each class or at the end of the week with creation stations with 3-5 poetry activities. Random days throughout the year so students explore form & play with words. Complementary activities in other units. I use poetry for novel studies, media units, summary practice, and so much more. Suggestions are included with the product. ********************************************************************************** Like this product? Interested in more poetry for your classroom?
