“Poetry Alive!” with Leslie Johnson actively involves students in writing original poetry and performing it in the classroom with “poetry theater” techniques. "Poetry Alive!” workshops are designed with the “multiple intelligences” to engage students with diverse learning styles and to enliven the writing process. Leslie inspires, guides, and celebrates the joy of writing with students in this interactive experience. Each workshop includes lively warm-ups, creation of original poetry, and poetry performance in the classroom. All students are active participants in this poetry adventure! With proven success in schools throughout Connecticut, “Poetry Alive!” develops vital literacy skills and confidence.
