William Workman High School
The national Poetry Out Loud (POL) program sponsors an annual recitation competition in which high school students memorize and perform poems by writers from various time periods and schools of poetics. A wonderful example of support for the arts in education, it’s also one way educators can connect with high schoolers on their own terms. Not to mention, recitation of stories and poems is a historic pastime.
About the Poetry Contest
Any high school can choose to participate in the Poetry Out Loud competition. Teachers lead the way as ambassadors for the program in their classroom or school, as part of their lesson plans or as an extracurricular activity for students. Poetry Out Loud collects more than 600 classic and contemporary poems for students to choose from, and provides support material (like the Poetry Out Loud anthology and CDs of writers and actors reciting poems) for teachers to use as they guide students through the memorization and recitation of poetry.
Students select poems to memorize and perform at competitions. They compete first at the high school level, and winners proceed to competitions within a county, the state, and finally at the national level. The national competition usually occurs in April each year, a highlight of National Poetry Month.
