Admission: FREE
Registration: Please visit: http://www.midwestwritingcenter.org/Workshop%20Reg%20Form.htm

Workshop for Grades 5th - 8th

Tracy White will outline a brief history of dramatic poetry and then quickly focus on contemporary examples of the form.  Students will learn the power that dramatic poems have to create vivid scenes and characters (human, animal, plant, force of nature, etc.) that express deep emotions  .  Students will be taught the importance of using metaphors, similes, the five senses, concrete VS abstract language, and unique verbs, nouns, and adjectives in their writing.  Students will have the opportunity to share what they have written and discuss their work.

This workshop is brought to you by: Quad City Arts Dollar$ Regranting Project by the Midwest Writing Center Poetry for All Ages. In celebration of national poetry month, with a grant from Quad City Arts, The Midwest Writing Center will offer a poetry workshop each Saturday in April. Each workshop will be for a
different age group beginning with 5th graders and going to senior citizens. The workshops will be offered at no cost. The participants will have an opportunity to share their poetry at a Bucktown evening event.
