10 TFe are studying spoken word poetry. As part of this, we are looking at a range of poems that have been written to perform.

We used the following poem by Sujatta Bhatt as inspiration for our own poems with the same title.

This is an amazing piece of poetry, especially when combined with the animation. You guys are very lucky to have a teacher who exposes you to this kind of work. I am looking forward to reading YOUR poems now.
