SUMMARY:Marshall - The Power of Poetry: A Social Studies Bundling Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in teaching poetry to your students? Would you like to learn more about aligning poetry to academic standards and benchmarks? If so\, this workshop is for you! The first part of this workshop will include an overview of two poetry programs\, Poetry Sparks!\, intended for K-8th grades\, developed by the Minnesota Poet Laureate\, Gwen Nell Westerman\, and the Latino Poetry Anthology\, intended for 6-12th grades\, published by the Library of America. The overview will also include viewing some of the primary sources associated with each program. \nIn the second half of the workshop\, Brittany Rawson-Haeg\, Social Studies Specialist with MDE\, will walk participants through interdisciplinary bundling\, what bundling is\, and how both the poetry writing process and individual poems can be used to create a bundle for use with students in the classroom. Standards across Social Studies will be addressed. \nThis workshop is best suited for elementary generalists\, social studies classroom teachers\, or anyone working in curriculum instruction supporting social studies. Lunch will be provided\, and all participants will receive a complimentary copy of “Songs\, Blood Deep” by Minnesota Poet Laureate Gwen Nell Westerman\, or the Latino Poetry Anthology. \nPending funding\, educators who participate in this workshop will have first access to the Poetry Pathways Programs for the 2025-2026 academic year. Poetry Pathways is a mini-grant opportunity that brings poets and teaching artists directly into classrooms to work with students to foster creativity and writing and exposes them to the power of poetry\, using their voices for expression. \nAbout Poetry Pathways\nPoetry Pathways is a collaboration between the Minnesota Humanities Center\, and The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library as the Minnesota Center for the Book. Vital to Minnesota communities\, poetry is a powerful medium for cultural expression\, community building\, and drawing attention to important stories and issues\, while also providing a space for healing and reflection. It plays a crucial role in education and youth engagement\, enriching the social fabric of the state. \nRegistration\nThis event is free but registration is required.
