SPOKEN WORD SCHOOL-WIDE
ASSEMBLIES, POETRY SLAMS
AND ORATORY RELATED STUDY TRIPS FOR LWOL POETS
Once a student completes the 8-session Let’s Write Out Program
they become eligible to serve their community and master the art of public
speaking with a fun, like-minded and supportive group during our oratory
assemblies, poetry slams and oratory-related study trips.
Our student poetry slams focus on public
speaking. We work with several sponsors
and non-profit organizations by hosting district-wide poetry slams. Our poetry
slams have received support from San Bernardino, CA Mayor Patrick Morris, local
councilman and the community. It
bridges the gap between students, parents, teachers and the community. These
poetry slams feature representatives of Homestreet Publishing and community
poets, but more importantly, they feature students. Cash prizes and literary scholarships are awarded to first,
second and third place winners.
The goal of the Let’s Write Out Loud Oratory-Related Study Trips
is to give young writers of the future a chance to serve their community by
motivating people of all ages, races and religions with their words.
We travel together as a cohesive group of orators, short story
tellers and poets. Your young writers
arrive at a destination of self-development, as they encourage, uplift and
inspire the communities they serve.
They become extremely involved in their community for a range of
reasons and their service to humanity can be listed on their academic resumes.
Students walk away with a copy of their performance to evaluate
their public speaking skills and their body language.
The Let’s Write Out Loud Students:
· Get
involved with social and political projects in their community
· Read
and share poetry to the elderly in nursing homes
· Read
and share poetry to hospitalized children and adults
· Read
and share poetry at local libraries
· Participate
in activities that benefit the community

We expect students to be on
their best behavior during the workshops, poetry sessions, slams and study
trips. We’re only together for a short
time so we ask that they’re respectful and follow all of the rules set by their
parent organization i.e. school, community center, etc.
Failure to be orderly and
respectful may cause them to be removed from the poetry program and be placed
on a waiting list to re-enter.
We look forward to working
with you!
