Class experience

US Grade 5 - 8
 - Students will learn how to follow a set of rules to produce an uplifting poem, harnessing their natural creativity and warmth.
 - Students will gain practice presenting something they've created.
 - Students will learn how to be supportive of others. 
I've been a certified teacher for over 30 years, including being the founder of a progressive middle & high school in Seattle (in 1994). I have a warm way of engaging with students who typically come away feeling cared for after attending one of my classes. I love helping students build social-emotional skills, and I love using poetry to do it!
Homework Offered
Students are expected to write three kindku poems, one between session 1 & 2 of the class, one between sessions 2 & 3, and one between sessions 3 & 4. This will require them to pick a source for the poem and follow the rules for this poetry form.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Learners will be picking three sources of inspiration for their kindku, a poem, a book, a newspaper article, etc. In the case of a book or long piece of writing, those words must come from the same page.
The inspiration for this class comes from this website: https://abpositiveart.com/kindku-poetry-form/
