- Based on the Ontario standards: Extend understanding of texts by connecting the ideas in them to their own knowledge and experience, to other familiar texts, and to the world around them.

- Use a range of appropriate elements of effective presentation in the finished product, including print, script, different fonts, graphics, and layout.
- Identify some vocal effects and use them appropriately, and with sensitivity towards cultural differences, to help communicate their meaning (e.g., adjust the pace of speaking for effect and to hold the listener’s attention.
Can you believe that I despised poetry when I was young? Unfortunately, it was introduced in such a rigid and dull way that all of its magic was sucked away!

I'm neurodivergent so my classes are creative and inclusive. I am also gentle and encouraging, and learners are welcome to participate in the chat box or orally. The class follows the same format to reduce anxiety. The ages are suggestions.
No prior experience with poetry is required for this class! All are welcome!

The topics in the class will vary depending on the learners in the class and what they bring up, and sensitive subjects may arise. I will allow the learners to express age-appropriate emotions and general experiences, but I will gently guide them back if something beyond that comes up.
I will hold up various poetry books from my collection to encourage the learners to explore similar poetry outside of class. These are books that include the poems and class topics.
