GET THE CURRICULUM
Get Lit’s standards-aligned curriculum pairs classic poetry with spoken word response to empower and embolden students’ expression, affect change and strengthen social-emotional skills. Get Lit spreads the power of poetry from classroom to community.
TEACH GET LIT AT YOUR SCHOOL
The only program of our kind in the nation, Get Lit has created a standards-aligned Classic & Response Model where students identify poetry that resonates with them and then write their own original spoken word response. We inspire students to amplify their voices while exploring poetry from the past and present.
CURRICULUM COLLECTION
Curriculum
Poetry comes alive in the classroom with the Get Lit Essential curriculum, where students claim poems that speak to them, then write and perform their own spoken word response. This culturally relevant, standards and SEL-aligned curriculum adds enrichment and rigor to any English or drama class, using student voice to increase student engagement and literacy, empowers creative expression, and strengthens social-emotional skills. Plus includes our “Blitz” poetic performance, mentor visits, professional development, entry to the Classic Slam and more! Synchronous or asynchronous options available.
Curriculum
Increase literacy, agency and empathy with our brand-new UC-Approved, Standards and SEL-Aligned online Poetry and Ethnic Studies Curriculum. Two distinct courses designed to create conscientious and rigorous learning through creativity and cultural relevance.
Create authors and advocates with our Words Ignite curriculum, a year or semester-long UC approved (B or G) curriculum for grades 9-12. This plug and play course comes with everything from warm ups, to graphic organizers to assessments. Students will use the Get Lit model to write, revise, publish and market their own poetry chapbook to elevate their voice in their classrooms and communities. Synchronous or asynchronous options available.
Whether you want to enter your team to the Classic Slam, engage your students with an assembly featuring the Get Lit Players, or host a poetry workshop with one of our mentor artists, we’ve got you covered. Check out this video about Blitz shows to see our poets in action!
