Workshop
Saturday, August 8, 2020
1:00-2:00pm EDT
In this free, generative writing workshop held over Zoom, kids will learn how to write haiku, short poems that capture the essence of a moment. Kids will learn about the haiku form and will practice observing their world and expressing themselves through writing. They will also have a chance to share what they write. Designed for youth ages 8-14, but open to all ages.
This is a free event, but RSVP via Facebook is encouraged.
