Poet's Corner
Where young writers discover what words can do.
About this course
A creative space for young poets to discover the beauty of words. Students explore poetry from the past and present, learn to read and recite with confidence, and are introduced to poetic devices and core writing techniques. Through guided practice, students begin crafting their own poems while developing expression, rhythm and voice.
What is included
- Read and recite with confidence
- Poetic devices, taught through examples
- Write and revise your own poems
- Small, supportive workshop setting
Who this course is for
Ages 10–14 meeting poetry beyond what school requires. Suits both children who already write privately and those who think poetry is something that happens to other people.
What you will be able to do
- Read a poem aloud with confidence and control
- Name what a poem is doing: imagery, rhythm, repetition
- Write in several forms rather than defaulting to rhyme
- Revise your own work instead of abandoning it
