Do you want to incorporate more poetry into your lessons with your students, but you aren’t sure how? Or perhaps you would like to learn more about poetry yourself but aren’t sure how to go about it?
Poetry can be intimidating. It requires us to slow down and pay attention in a way that prose doesn’t do.
Join CiRCE-certified Master Teacher Kristen Rudd for this six-week intensive as we learn how to read poetry; how to recognize poetic forms; how to pay attention to the structure, style, and meaning of poetry; how to write our own formal poetry; and how to pass these skills on to our
students.

Our schedule will be as follows:
Week 1: Poetic Forms 1
Week 2: Poetic Forms 2
Week 3: Prosody and Scansion
Week 4: The Sonnet
Week 5: Poems in Conversation
Week 6: Poetry Analysis: A Closer Look
