CAN ANY OF OUR POETS IN THE BRISBANE AREA HELP

Post by Maureen K Clifford » Tue Jun 23, 2015 5:22 pm

Just received this enquiry from one of the schools in the Wynnum/Manly area of Brisbane - if you can help would you please make contact with the lady concerned

Hi Maureen,

My name is Tracy Boyd and I am one of the Year 4
teachers at Moreton Bay Girls College. We are currently doing a Unit of
Inquiry about poetry being a universal form of expression.

We would love to find a local poet who could come and read some of their
poetry to the girls and possibly give them a short lesson on how to
write poetry of a similar style. I know that the girls would be
inspired and learn so much from an accomplished poet.

We are on holiday until 13th July and our unit continues until the 7th August.

Kind regards
Tracy

Mrs Tracy Boyd
Year 4 Teacher

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

I dunno if we should let Manfred any where near the Morton Bay Girls College. That could ruin their expectations of what normal is like. :D
