Workshop Registration Form — Pride and Less Prejudice

Helping students take their learning deeper can happen when they put pencil to paper (or fingers to keyboards). Rob Sanders will use his book QUEER & FEARLESS: POEMS CELEBRATING THE LIVES OF LGBTQ+ HEROES (and other fabulous books) to show you how mentor texts can model for students how to put their learning into words. In this interactive session you’ll discover practical writing exercises that you can take into your classroom and implement with your students anytime—even tomorrow. From waterfall writing to limericks, from abecedarians to diamantes, from found poems to shaped poems—these examples can give students new ways to express their learning and may even get you writing, too. Bring pencil and paper, unmute yourself, and be ready to interact just like you would if we were learning together in a classroom.
