Dave Ward – Poetry Workshop
Dave Ward is a successful poet who has published several books, such as Candy and Jazz, Tracs, On the Edge of Rain and many more. On the 30th of June, gifted and talented English pupils were invited to spend a couple of hours in a workshop with him. During this session the poet performed five poems; two of which were his own work and the rest were by other poets. Students were captivated by his performance, and were left speechless when he sang a poem. At the end the poet also gave students the opportunity to write and perform their own poems; this helped students see their own potential in poetry and it also allowed them to explore different styles. Overall it was an exciting, inspiring lesson.
