Orchard Villa Workshop

Poet Laurel Nakanishi leads an eight-session poetry workshop with students from Liberty City’s Orchard Villa Elementary School.

Students learn and practice poetry writing through a series of interactive games, writing prompts, and examples from other children and published poets. The poetry lessons are linked to district-wide learning goals and support classroom learning.

The month of poetry culminates with a hand-made anthology, poetry video and community reading for parents and friends.
