Poetry and Performance Introduction Studio!

Who are we you ask? Check out the following posts to find out . . .

Each student has been developing their own chapbook of poetry. Besides 3 - 5 original poems, they must also include an "About the Author" page.

Directions: Students create a new comment. Post your “About the Author” page. Be sure that it is free of errors!
