Think about your spring break pleasure reading the book. What were some of the themes and issues? Was one of the themes particularly meaningful to you? Choose a topic or theme that was addressed in your chosen book. Make sure it is a topic about which you have something to say. Think of your slam poem as an opportunity to express yourself and share your point of view. Your tone and attitude toward the topic make a difference. Are you angry? Conversational? Humorous? Know how you feel before you write.
