An Exploration Into Poetry

• Ages:
  Gradeschooler

I have a LOVE with kid’s poetry. Jack Prelutsky is one of the favorites. He brings a lot of fun to poetry through his words and illustrations. In this camp we will explore and discuss poetry he has written. We will create art to go along with the poems, compare our illustrations to his, play games, and even try out writing our own fun and creative poems.
There is no need for prior knowledge of poetry terms or even writing poetry. We will touch on terms throughout our discussions and talk about how to write poems. This will merely be a slight introduction of poetry basics. The main intention of this class is to simply explore the imagination brought to us through poems and illustrations and also to have fun writing and drawing like a poet. By the end of the 3 days, students will have at least 3 illustrations to accompany poems read and at least 1 of their own original poems and illustration. They may create as many poems and illustrations as they wish. I will only encourage 3 illustrations and 1 poem.

This class is 4 consecutive days for 8-10 year olds.

This class is $27 for the 4 day camp.
