The Power of Poetry
In chapter 10 it discussed the effectiveness of incorporating chants, music, and poetry. So, I saw it fit that I share with the class this YouTube clip on the power of poetry. The affect it has on an individual, especially an ELL, who can use poetry to express deeper thoughts and messages in a creative way that may be more comfortable for the ELL. Overall, this clip is the animation of Shane Koyczan's deepest issues and thoughts and how poetry helped him. What are your thoughts on the clip?

I absolutely like it, Jackie. It is not only creative but meaningful and many can relate to their personal experience at some point in their life. The issues presented are global and both native and non-native speakers of English can watch it together. It could make a good discussion topic. Thanks for sharing.
