Play with Your Words: A Science Poetry Workshop
Explore nature in a poetry workshop with science poet Leslie Bulion! We'll have fun writing together in this small group workshop for up to 8 attendees.
45 Minute Program
In this program I introduce young writers to my poetry process, sharing cool science stories with rhyme, rhythm, and fun. We'll brainstorm and write a science poem together using critter info and LOTS of wordplay. Once we've created our group poem, young writers can work on their own critter poem individually, or with a writing buddy. Then it's sharetime showtime!
I'll be answering questions and helping young writers throughout our session.
I will send the group a PDF of questions and research suggestions to help get writers' creative ideas flowing before our session.
Participants should come prepared with:
blank paper
a pen or pencil
a critter in mind for their own science poem
answers to PDF questions about their critter based on prior knowledge and/or research
For schools, libraries, and larger group programs please see "Virtual Visits" listings on Leslie's website.
