The first is Tuesday, May 8:
Event Mapping: Discovering a Sense of Place- Revive the senses and sharpen your observation skills through participation in the natural world! Using a nature journal, event mapping is the process of tracing and recording ones personal experience while moving through a landscape. You do not need to be an artist or writer to participate. The goal of this program is to observe, experience, and record ones personal encounter in the place and space around them. A group activity that is uniquely personal and requires participants to slow down, listen and observe; event mapping is appropriate for all grades and ability levels.
The second is 5/14, 5/15 and 5/16:
Poetry Intensive Series: The Poetry Intensive is a series of three classes that plunges children more deeply into the satisfying process of writing poetry, with a focus on our connection to the Hudson River. Using a variety of exercises for our consecutive sessions, we explore:
Day 1: Introduction to Imagery -To increase student awareness of the world around them and the expressiveness of language.
Day 2: Strong Verbs -To intensify the power of any poem.
Day 3: Refrain and Echo -To give balance and structure to the poem and emphasize the main point.
