Poets at SAS Pudong – Wednesday Feb 26th
Wow, What a day. Anis Mojgani, Sara Holbrook, Michael Salinger, and Kenn Nesbitt all had full days working with teachers and students at SAS Pudong. The highlight of the day for many and especially the SAS – Pudong Librarians (Barbara, Kimbra, and Tim) was the Poet- Faculty get-together after school. Anis, Sara, Michael, and Kenn came to the Secondary Library and gave an impromptu Poetry exhibition. Each provided poems for the gathered teachers. The poems were powerful reminders about about life, learning, love, parenthood, and being teachers.
Below are just of the few scenes from the Day
The Poets are here!
Feb 24th, 2014. Anis Mojgani, Sara Holbrook, Michael Salinger, and Kenn Nesbitt have arrived at SAS Pudong. Today each had full schedules of assemblies and class presentations. On the HS side, Anis Mojgani wowed high school students with is rapid paced presentation. Between powerful poems Anis provided tidbits of personal information that revealed his life and motivation. Through out the rest of the day he worked with 9th and 10 grade English classes leading them through the creation of personal poems developed by student generated sentences. Thanks Anis. What a way to start the week.
The rest of the week is filled with class contacts that range through the 9th and 10th grade english classes, various upper level writing classes, and two Theater classes. On Wednesday Anis will participate in a “Meet and Greet” with our other visiting poets as they make themselves available to meet with faculty. One the last day, Friday, our visiting Poets will close the week by participating in our Poetry Celebration. HS students will be lead by our Poetry and Literary Clubs in a Time for Poems. Watch for more information.
