826 Chicago, the nonproft writing & tutoring center, just published a series of workshops for the next few weeks. I am teaching one:
Finding You in Stuff
One Session: Saturday, January 28th
Time: 10am – 12
Taught by Daniel X. O’Neil
Limited to 12 students, grades 2-4Who are you? This workshop will use Stuff to show how identity can be
drawn from everything around you as well as the thoughts inside of you.
Each student will bring his/her backpack – unorganized and full of
random notes, journals, receipts, books, worksheets, and homework – and
use these materials to create poems with a collage on the back showing
the original materials from which the poem was constructed.
Here’s the complete lesson plan. Sign up now– space is limited to 12 kids.
