Poetry Out Loud: Georgia

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

unctioning much like a spelling bee, the POL competition uses a pyramid structure that begins in the classroom. Winners of each classroom recitation competition advance to a school-wide contest, then each school’s top winner goes to a semi-final competition. Finalists from the semi-final competitions will advance to the state finals in March. Finally, one Georgia winner competes at the National Finals in Washington, D.C. in April.
