Poetry Detectives Thursdays 10:30-11:30 AM Teacher: Joy Tanksley Course Cost: $80-305 (sliding scale, see below) Course Duration: 12 weeks Ages: 7-10 Course Description: Get ready to solve the mysteries of poetry! Learners will read and analyze a variety of poetry from the 20th and 21st centuries, including works from Maya Angelou, Shel Silverstein, Naomi Shihab Nye, Langston Hughes, and other renowned authors. Through dramatic play, group games, and immersive activities, learners will develop skills for decoding and demystifying this sometimes puzzling literary form. Along the way, we’ll find the delight and deep satisfaction that comes with cracking the code of a really good poem. **NOTE: please read the following, reflect on your current financial situation, and choose a price for my classes that makes the most sense for your family.
