Wild Words

Create and illustrate your own poem. Each student selects words and imagery to create a close-up focus. Eleanor leads your class in sound work and quick exercises as she teaches ways to approach making a poem. Students hear and read models, write their own verses and make 3 quick drawings as they build confidence in their own expressive language.
