A Day in the Life of the Gorham Slammers

 * A writing prompt will be given and all team members will write a extemporaneous poem on the subject. These poems will then be Slammed.
 * A list of words will be constructed, each team member contributing a single word or phrase. All team members will then construct a poem containing all of these words in no particular order. The poems will then be Slammed.
 * Poems written throughout the week will be Slammed.
 * Constructive criticism will be offered to those team members seeking it. Criticism can be offered on both the writing style and presentation.
 * Other SLAM poets will be listened to, studied, and appreciated.
 * Team members will encourage to spread the breadth of their audience, and trips outside of school will be organized to SLAM in other locations and at other times.
