"In the Voice Of" Poetry Project 2022

The poems were written and performed through a collaboration between the Hancock drama and AP English Language classes.

The author is not the speaker. For this creative assignment, students spoke in the voice of someone who searched for and found wisdom to move beyond a negative experience.

After listening to the poem, consider this: Who is this speaker? What wisdom did the speaker find? How?
