Teacher's Notes

Asynchronous Instructions

This activity is used as an engagement for the lesson on the history of spoken word poetry. Students could be assessed for completion of the task. Teachers are encouraged to participate in the discussion board in order to facilitate a rich discussion, but that is not required.

Tech Integration

The discussion is facilitated by Canvas Discussion which includes a variety of options. The discussion has been configured as ungraded. If the discussion will be graded, adjust the settings and add a point value.  We also recommend updating the due date. Learn more about how to update discussion options.
