What parents/caregivers are saying about WordPlay classes:
“This class is full of information which is presented in a fun and interesting manner. In the first class my daughter learned about acrostic poems, who knew there were so many different ways to write them! This started out as an "Okay, I will try it" to "I can't wait until next week". Tiffany does a great job presenting the information and engaging the students.”

Weekly Poetry Writing
$21 per session
A fun, low-stress class for all things poetry. In this class, students will learn about a new poetry style each week— think sonnets, haiku, free verse, and cinquains. They’ll then try their hand at writing a poem of their own!
We'll take a look at a poem written in the given style, and discuss how it's put together, then spend about twenty minutes writing our own poems in the same style. If anyone gets stuck, not to worry-- the teacher will help students overcome writers block and get back on track! Students are invited to share their poems with their peers at the end of class, though this is not required.
Poetry is a great form of literature for reluctant writers, but can also provide a fun challenge for avid writers. This class aims to be informative but also fun and low-stress; a place for writers of all experiences levels to play with their ideas in a structured way.
Because each class serves as a complete lesson, students are welcome to join for as long as they'd like, drop out when needed, and join again-- the course was created with schedule flexibility in mind.
