Word Up! A Middle School Celebration of Poetry

Poetry readings by Montauk School’s 8th grade class. Professional poets led students in creating, revising and presenting their own original works of poetry. Students learn various techniques of verbal expression while expanding their understanding of the art of spoken language and oral traditions. The poetry workshops culminate in a live poetry event on the stage of Guild Hall’s John Drew Theater, where students read original works, selected poems, memorized works, and fellow students’ poems.
