In this workshop I will present how to guide students from grades 6 through 12 on an exciting journey into the world of creative poetry writing. I will give examples of engaging activities and interactive discussions that will help students learn to harness their imagination, explore various poetic forms, and express themselves through the power of language. This workshop is designed to inspire budding poets, ignite their passion for writing, and cultivate their unique voices. By delving into the essence of poetry, dissecting its forms, and encouraging experimentation, students will not only develop essential literary skills but also foster creativity, critical thinking, and self-confidence. Through peer collaboration and supportive guidance, participants will have the opportunity to explore diverse themes, perspectives, and emotions, enriching their understanding of themselves and the world around them. Ultimately, this workshop aims to provide teachers with tools to guide students to become confident, articulate, and expressive writers, equipped with the skills and inspiration to continue their poetic journey beyond the classroom.
