Zaccheus Jackson Slam Poetry Presentation

On Monday, during the Humnities 8 block, a slam poet named Zaccheus Jackson came to our school for a presentation. At the start, Jackson introduced his background, as well as ask a few questions somewhat relevant to his life story, and the reason of him becoming a slam poet. He started presenting slam poetries he created while also explaining the reason of creation. Jackson hooked the audience by his loud voice, as well as the tone to make his words more interesting than a teacher's lecture. He included fine details of his past, and how he created works of art by just living everday life. Jackson's word choices fully expressed the emotions he felt while making the slam poetries. By presenting this way, the audience will feel the curiosity to listen until the end. The presentation felt inspirational, as to how one could turn their life another way by just simply creating or accomplishing something; to attain confidence. Jackson has showed us how one choice in life could greatly become your downfall, or become your saviour.
