BILINGUAL Teen Writing Workshop | Rap and Poetry

Description

He learns from himself, sometimes he fights with whoever he wants
His pain does not hurt him, he prefers to be the one who waits
May his faithful roles fill him with peace and glory
As he celebrates, without boasting, if they win him victory
For him every victory is another step to the top of the line
These are the goals of the warrior of the rhyme.
— Nach (Spanish poet and rapper), “The Way of the Warrior”

In this workshop we will analyze and discuss texts by poets from different eras, from Spanish classics such as Francisco de Quevedo to the Mexican Efraín Huerta.

We will study poetic devices: metaphor, hyperbole, simile, hyperbate, etc. We will learn about the different forms of rhyme, as well as meter, and explore possible combinations, to finally create a poetic piece and set it to music.
