Take your poetry lab outdoors!
You select the students (up to 48 students max with a minimum of 1 teacher present) for this special creative writing intensive AND choose the outdoor area at your school or a field trip destination. I will lead students through a time of discovering and writing about the wonders of our natural world.
- Outdoor poetry labs are hands-on/immersive writing experiences.
- Lab time is structured to include a variety of author presentation, outdoor exploration, student writing and sharing, and author and peer feedback.
