includedClass Experience
US Grade 8 - 11
We will examine a variety of summer-themed poems and learn more about various poetic techniques and devices, such as alliteration, assonance, consonance, personification, similes, metaphors, imagery, and descriptive word choices. We will discuss the meaning and any application for each selected poem. Additionally, we will practice putting many of the poetry techniques and devices observed into our own poetry writing. Learners will be encouraged to share their writings and provide constructive feedback for one another. Each of the first three days of our week-long camp will involve reading, analyzing, and discussing as directed by the teacher, accounting for approximately 30 minutes of the class time. The second half of the class (approximately 20 minutes) will involve writing and critiquing. Day four of the camp will focus heavily upon production, wrapping up any unfinished poetry writing and sharing aloud with the class one of your finished poems. No prior poetry experience is needed for this class, but, if you have some, that would be a great platform from which to go to the next level. Plus, your experience and interest can be of help in sharing and encouraging other learners in the class to be bold and creative in their writing.
Learning Goals
Learners will gain a better understanding and appreciation for poetry as well as be able to identify common poetic devices employed. Furthermore, learners will apply the use of these poetic devices in their own poetry writings and present their original work to their peers.

Teacher expertise and credentials
2 Degrees
Master's Degree from Wheaton College
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Judson College (now known as Judson University)
I teach English writing, grammar, and test prep; English as a second/foreign language; poetry; and introductory Brazilian Portuguese classes. I have a B.A. in Secondary English Education and an M.A. in Missions and Intercultural Studies along with a graduate-level certificate in Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language. With over 25 years of experience working with children, youth, and adults to help them achieve improved communicative and comprehension skills, I believe that everyone can learn and improve and that each person is uniquely wired to learn. It is my privilege to come alongside and to help, engage, challenge, and motivate all learners to be their best and do their best.
Personally, I enjoy reading, writing, spending time in God's Word, and hanging out with my family. We love hosting Brazilian-style cook-outs at our home and entertaining guests locally and from around the world.
