We recognize and appreciate the hard work of educators. Your job, second only to that of a ninja, is one of the most challenging in the world. Between teaching, testing, grading, and nurturing, it can be overwhelming to find new materials for your classroom. That's where we come in. As poets and teachers ourselves, we understand the power of spoken word in the classroom. Just attend a youth slam or watch a clip online to witness the positive impact of modern poetry on young minds. It has the ability to captivate students of any background in a way that traditional poetry simply cannot. We understand that many teachers hesitate to use spoken word in their classrooms due to concerns about explicit language and themes. That's why we have collaborated with some of the best contemporary spoken word and slam poets to provide appropriate and engaging pieces for classroom use.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Write Bloody Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":10990639284339,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/0535\/4099\/products\/Learn_Then_Burn_-_Teacher_Guide_and_Workbook_Companion.jpg?v=1529706021"},{"product_id":"my-my-my-my-my","title":"My, My, My, My, My by Tara Hardy","description":"\u003c!-- BUTTON TEMPLATE - Copy this entire code block --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-shrink-0 flex flex-col relative items-end\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative p-1 rounded-sm h-9 w-9 text-white flex items-center justify-center\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative p-1 rounded-sm h-9 w-9 text-white flex items-center justify-center\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinner of the 2017 Washington State Book Award, Tara Hardy's \u003cem\u003eMy, My, My, My, My \u003c\/em\u003efaces the harsh reality of a life-threatening condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative p-1 rounded-sm h-9 w-9 text-white flex items-center justify-center\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative p-1 rounded-sm h-9 w-9 text-white flex items-center justify-center\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardy’s collection begins at the edge of uncertainty, where a life-changing diagnosis turns everything familiar upside down.
