Poetry Slam
After weeks of learning about poets such as Gwendlyn Brooks, Langston Hughes, and Maya Angelou, the 8th graders were tasked with writing their own poem. Some poems were about identity, others about a beloved pet. Each poem expressed something about who this amazing group of 8th graders is as individuals. After in-class competitions, 8 students were chosen to compete in today's grade wide poetry slam. Spencer Gottesman, Tiferet Goodman, Ayelet Yolkut, Aiden Wisotsky, Zachy Horwitz, Zachary Friedman, Benji Shiner and Gabriella Butler all read their poems aloud to the grade Congratulations to Aiden, Benjy and Zachy, this year’s top three Yavneh Poet Laureates.
