This two-hour workshop will look at poetry as not only a stand-alone unit of study with ELA teachers but a powerful tool in any classroom. Hands-on activities to share with students will be presented along with methods of strengthening reading comprehension, cross-curricular applications, and general elements of poetry as a creative art to integrate into core subject instruction.

This workshop is free and open to all teachers. It will be facilitated by Georgia Popoff, a CNY community poet. It is sponsored by Partners for Arts Education as part of the Community Life through Poetry: Literacy Redefined through Artistic Expression program with the Syracuse City School District, with funding from the CNY Community Foundation.
