**What is //Spoken Word+History//? **
This wiki is a venue for students to:
 * 1)  demonstrate an understanding of the USHistory8 curriculum (and increase the knowledge of their peers)
 * 2) broadcast their own voice and stories using one of society’s most effective mediums
 * 3) build an interest-based digital community

**What is "Spoken Word"? **
Here is my favorite defintion (but clicking on this link will lead you to others.) "Spoken word can be used to describe a musical or term of entertainment, referring to works or performances that consist mostly of one person speaking or reciting literary work. Music in spoken word, more often than not, plays a background or accompanying role enriching rather than overpowering the word. The work may be written by the speaker or sometimes improvised in performance, but the key should always be to deliver the words in a natural voice." ([])

**What is "Quality Work"? **

 * I asked students:
 * "What does it mean to do quality work?"
 * "What elements are common to quality work?"
 * In every team, the response was basically the same about final products. They are:
 * engaging, entertaining, interesting, and creative.
 * informative, accurate, on-topic, educational, and a good learning tool.
 * clear, smooth, organized, it flows, it does not detract in anyway
 * time, effort, and planning is evident in the final product
