3 Students Attend Writing Conference

Three North Winn 4th grade students attended a writing conference sponsored by Keystone AEA. The students were Meretta Peterson, Shane Sexton, and Elizabeth Smith. They were put to work by two enthusiastic individuals from Poetry Alive! Poetry Alive is a Poetry Company. The Poetry Alive actors have memorized hundreds of poems, from the classics to the popular to the contemporary. Those poems, presented in engaging and memorable ways, become the connection to enhanced reading and writing skills. During the day the students listened to poems performed, wrote their own poetry, and also looked at a poem and made it into a skit with other students. It was an amazing day for the students and they truly enjoyed their time there. Check out the website http://www.poetryalive.com/ for more information.
