The Creative Writing department has been commissioned to participate in the SOTA Black History month performance on Feb. 5. The music department (Mr. Gabriel) is looking for an UPLIFTING, POSITIVE, and G-Rated original poem celebrating Black History. You might write about an important historical character/person, or overcoming obstacles successfully in a difficult world, or about the importance of hope and freedom and achieving your dreams.
Here are a few examples:
Homage to My Hips
I am a Cowboy in the Boat of Ra
Still I Rise
HOMEWORK: Extra Credit: write an inspiring poem for Black History. Use the samples as guidelines. NOTE: While you are welcome to read and perform your own poem, you do not have to to participate. You also do not need to be African American. You can celebrate the success of any culture! Anyone who submits (whether or not your poem is selected) will gain extra participation credit this marking period. Poems need to be collected by 1/18/13.
