Poetry Out Loud 2018 Sign-up & Schedule
(Be sure to sign-in to your APS Google Account first).
In order to have the poems copied for the judges and create a program, I need the names of classroom winners and poem titles no later than Wednesday, January 24th. If you can get them to me earlier, it will give the judges more time to review the poems in advance.
I have 5 copies of the latest POL teacher's guide so let me know if you need one. I also have DVDs in the library. You can also access poems, video, and teaching tools online at: http://www.poetryoutloud.org/
Laws of Life Essay Contest- Please confirm your participation!
The Georgia Laws of Life Essay Contest is a statewide writing and character education program for students in grades 9–12. Students are asked to select a maxim or “Law of Life” (such as “Honesty is the best policy” or “Kindness is the highest form of wisdom”) and to write an essay explaining how the maxim applies to the students’ lives. Each school may submit 8-12 essays per grade level. The top state essays will be awarded cash prizes for up to $1000.00.
To promote participation at the school level, the Grady Writing Center is sponsoring a school competition with cash prizes and will be available to work with students as needed. The deadline for the school competition is February 2nd.
