Our goal is for students to compare and contrast the connections between different poetic forms and have a greater sense of the type of research that is required to create a work of non-fiction. Our target audience is children ages 8 to 12 who live in the rural, remote area. We hope that exposure to two professional authors working in two different genres will inspire an interest in reading and writing throughout the summer months that extends into the next academic year. We believe they will learn new perspectives for their writing and explore structure and flow that will improve their writing.Each writer will ask the students to co-create a work of poetry and a work of non-fiction. Students will evaluate and analyze the work they create. At the end of each presentation, students will be asked to fill out a participant survey where they will have to identify three types of poetry (July workshop) and three research methods (September workshop). Program presenters will work with Ely Community Resource staff to analyze the expected learner outcomes. Future programming will be developed based on the success or failure of the programs.
No attendance for either workshop presented.
