I CAN identify the source of my emotions.
I CAN safely explore my feelings. I CAN communicate what makes me feel joy and what makes me experience sadness. I CAN express my thoughts respectfully. I CAN allow myself to be heard and understood. I CAN hear, understand, and respect the thoughts and feelings of others. I CAN be creative. I CAN be an artist. |

'Give Your Words Wings' is a lesson in written and spoken word poetry. The mission is to teach students about the power of storytelling with an emphasis on how organizing thoughts and feelings makes self-expression easier.

students can create characters and embed their emotions in hypothetical scenarios if they feel more comfortable doing that.
For reluctant writers, I aim to feel out their interests. Not every student wants to write poems or short stories, some students are more inclined to write when they view their piece as an ad campaign for a brand that their favorite athlete endorses or a spec script for their favorite television series. The idea is to take the mediums that students are most influenced by, put them into the driver's seat and get them to talk about something real to them. |

No caregivers necessary as there is minimal supplies to hand out. Too many adults in the space might restrict the students from writing about things they would like to unburden themselves with.
Classroom teacher should always be present. |
