The Bloomer Report: Slam Poetry
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Bloomer Report is hosted by Ben Loomer and showcases conversations with teachers working in English Schools across Quebec. Featured educators are leading projects that engage their students and their results need to be shared widely. The hope is that others will be inspired to replicate these projects in their own school and community.

Maria’s efforts let students dive into the writing process and the project lets their creativity shine.
