This video is a poem from Taylor Mail. Mali is a teacher turned slam poet whose mission is to inspire 1,000 people to become teachers through his poems and his life experience as a teacher. The title of this poem is "What Teachers Make". To me this is one of the most motivating poems I have ever heard. I hope you enjoy.
I love this too! I saw it a couple years ago in one of my English classes. He has some other really good poems you might like as well! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCNIBV87wV4 kind of goes along with developing a critical voice... knowing what you're talking about :) Enjoy!
