Overview
My students' experience with slam poetry was not unique. In fact, as a teaching strategy, performance poetry has been used in classrooms across the United States, traversing content areas and extracurricular activities. Both as an instrument for literacy development and as a tool for exploring issues of culture and identity, slam poetry has served as a contemporary supplement to traditional poetry units. Furthermore, slam poetry clubs and organizations have formed in and outside of classrooms to provide an outlet for creative expression and individual voice. Maxine Greene, a pioneer in curriculum studies, challenges us to consider the moral and political questions surrounding educational practice rather than adhere to stringent, fixed norms. Building on Greene's work, Pamela Bolotin Joseph contends that for teachers to understand the culture of their classrooms, they must break from the rigid routines of traditional schoolhouse customs and practices.
