Poetry Out Loud: Georgia
National competition for high school students that focuses on poetry, memorization, and recitation. Semi-final competitions take place locally in February.
This innovative program encourages high school students to learn about great poetry through memorization and performance of the written word. It incorporates the dynamic aspects of slam poetry, spoken word, and theater into the English and drama class. Poetry Out Loud, which began in 2005, helps students improve public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn great poetry in literature. F
