In this project, our class took the time to learn about times in history when people have shown resilience, and compared them through a spoken word piece to a person of our choice who we thought showed the same qualities. We then chose a time when resilience was shown significantly, and made paintings to represent them. On exhibition night, we performed our spoken word pieces, and displayed our art around the "cafe".
I really enjoyed this project because I have always had fun with creative writing. I will always remember everything I learned about the Holocaust, and the 11 million people that died during those 7 years of cruel torture. I will definitely continue to write spoken word, and look forward to any future writing projects that we do.
