Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 10
Poetry is the topic of discussion in this class. In our discussions, we will attempt to grow an appreciation of the this most vital and often disparaged art form. This class is all about sharing: sharing poetry we have written, and sharing poetry by other authors we have recently discovered. This session is a workshop where we can engage the wisdom of each other, and the wisdom of the ages.

Learning Goals

Students will learn how insightful poetry can be.
Students will learn that reading poetry out loud is a highly effective way of getting better at writing poetry.

Other Details

Parental Guidance

Ted Kooser wrote a fantastic book called, The Poetry Home Repair Manual. If you found your way to acquiring this text, it would help you to become a better writer of poetry as well as a better reader of poetry.
