Class Experience
Hello writers! Join this one-time class and write original poetry that plays with tiny vs. large imagery. We will begin by reviewing the concept of using "extremes" in poetry, and then write a series of poems. Lastly, learners will share their work. If anyone would like extra feedback, they are welcome to submit their poems to me for my comments. This class will be presented through Google slides. We will interact with each other, take time to write, and then have a mini open mic with me....
Students will write a series of mini poems that use extremes.
