In School Programming
We’re proud to partner with area schools, administrators, and teachers to offer our College Essay and Poetry Workshop programs during the school day.
Poetry Workshops
During the fall and spring semesters, we host in-school Elementary Poetry Workshops for 4th and 5th graders at local elementary schools. In these workshops, students spend a month writing and revising their own original poems. Additionally, they read and analyze published poems, learning techniques such as the use of imagery, repetition, turns, and metaphor.
These workshops culminate with reading and the publication of a poetry chapbook and for each student to bring home and share with their loved ones.
College Essay
Eleventh and twelfth-grade students in Northern Michigan are eligible for our life-changing class, The College Essay: Tell Your Story.
In this class, students are able to get all of their college application questions answered and receive one-on-one college essay writing coaching from an expert, entirely for free.
We offer this course as a two-day program to local high school teachers as a supplement to their curriculum.
