From July 18 to Aug 20: each Monday/Thursday night 1 hour (9-10pm) EST
Goals: to inspire students’ interest in writing, cultures and arts with various themes related to their lives and studies (arts, mathematics, science and history etc) using some games I have designed, to engage them to discover and appreciate poetry and stimulate them to discuss the stories behind poetry and poetic devices. I will help them to apply their learning to their own writings.
