Poetry Teatime ~ Banned Poets Edition
A Poetry Course Featuring Powerful and Challenged Voices with Poetry, Snacks, and Writing Activities!
Do the words banned or censored make your children immediately curious?
Throughout history, poets have been challenged, silenced, criticized, censored, and even banned for their ideas, beliefs, politics, or willingness to speak boldly.
Is it time you introduced these powerful voices to your students?
If you answered YES, this course is designed just for YOU!
Hi, I'm Dachelle. I am the owner of Literary Adventures for Kids, and I want to help you teach literature in a way that is easy for you and fun for your kids.
I'm a former traditional teacher turned homeschool mom. I have a passion for literature and for adding adventure to our homeschool. I started several poetry teatimes in my community with the idea that each poetry teatime should be a celebration of literature.
At Literary Adventures for Kids, I take those experiences and use them to create online poetry teatimes that add a little bit of magic to your children's education.
“Education should be a living, breathing, tangible thing.”
Poetry Teatime ~ Banned Poets Edition makes it easy to introduce your kids to powerful voices through poetry and inspire them to create their own poems!
In this course, you’ll find everything you need to lead a monthly Poetry Teatime inspired by poets whose words sparked discussion, challenged society, and continued to matter even when others tried to silence them.
Provided are:
background lessons introducing each poet and why they were challenged, censored, or banned,
carefully selected poems for each month,
poetry writing activities inspired by each poet and their style,
snack & tea ideas,
and creative ways to decorate for your teatime.
This banned poetry study is designed for all ages and perfect for families who want to explore powerful poetry through words, creativity, and teatime treats!
