The purpose of MSAP Poetry-Writing Workshops is to provide students an alternate form of  classroom creativity and to provide students with treasurable tangible end products. The same types of products offered during in-house presentations are offered for online workshops. End products consist of classroom poetry booklets, individual student poetry designer pages, and poetry enhanced crafts. This program is also great for troops such as Girl Scouts looking to earn writing badges as well as other writing groups looking to add more versatility to their gatherings.

Information below is intended to provide educators insight as to how MSAP conducts

in-house poetry-writing workshops. The info is not all inclusive.
















Time Frame
 
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.
 
I share {via overhead projector or paper form} and discuss poems I've authored. Details
regarding workmanship will be determined by class grade {1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.}.
 
Students will be called on to read poetry verses and Theme-Story excerpts.
 
Theme-Stories are discussed for language and comprehension purposes.
 
Students are encouraged as a group to assist in formulating poetic verses, in accordance with my instructions,as I write verses on the board. The number of verses we construct will be determined by the amount of time it takes to create them. I hand out poetry-writing assignments. These assignments will be due the following day unless otherwise agreed between myself and the teacher.
 
Critiques
 
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.
 
End Products
 
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.

Reccomendation - It is strongly recommended that Memory Booklets, or at minimum, Individual Poetry Pages are ordered with this program because the end product is likely to promote positive influence on children and their notions about writing. Memory Booklets and Individual Poetry Pages have been Discounted to grant schools special rates.


OnGoing Workshops - Considering the facts that (1) teachers/schools may want to utilize this program on a continual basis, and (2) ongoing workshops enable students to draw more from MyStoriesAndPoems’ itinerary due to material reinforcement and additional writing assignments, workshops may be conducted for small groups of students on a regular time frame. These sessions would last from one-half an hour to forty-five minutes, at least one day per week, and for a number of weeks determined on individual school/teacher bases with a minimum of four sessions. Ongoing Workshops may also take place after school.

 

Please contact MyStoriesAndPoems.com for further information regarding Ongoing Workshops.

 


Items I ask teachers to provide for smooth workshop operation: 

1. Overhead Projector {If you don't have a projector, please let me know in advance.}
2. Eight to ten white board markers or sticks of chalk.
3. Seating Chart

If you'd like to further communicate with me about this program, and its use of Academic Content Standards as set by the California Board of Education, please Email SillyMommy@MyStoriesAndPoems.com or phone (951) 662-6873. Due to a high volume of unsolicited calls, please leave a message and a call back number.

 

Thank you.
