2008-09 Girls Write Now Poetry Workshop
The world between sustenance and hunger is rife with words that can inspire poetry: full, empty, satisfied, longing, burps...at this workshop, our mentees and mentor will explore these words and more as they explore a few of the many forms of poetry. Highlights:
- Great icebreaker activities
- Prompts to jump start individual writing and mentoring sessions
- “Craft Talk: Poetry” featuring Lisa Ann Sandell, author, Song of the Sparrow
- And, as always, a healthy lunch!
When: 11:00 AM – 4:15 PM
***PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN START TIME***
Where: Scholastic Corporation
