Short-term workshops generally require about three hours of time for a class of thirty students. This time period does not take place all at once, however. It is spread over the course of two to three days according to teacher's preference. Naturally, a class having significantly more or less students may take longer or shorter respectively.
At the start of a presentation, I tell students about myself, how I became interested in poetry, how it helped me hone my writing skills, etc.
Each student receives a critique of his or her homework poem. Classmates are encouraged to provide input for each critique. For this reason, constructive criticism will be explained.
After all poems have been critiqued and rewritten, students turn them over to MSAP to be typed and printed on Individual Poetry Designer Pages. These Designer Pages may be acquired as is, or used to formulate Memory Booklets or Poetry Crafts. When Memory Booklets are ordered, each child and the teacher receives a copy of the Memory Booklet.
