Education

Ages 14 to 17
School subjects
Study the work of Cohen and draw connections between his life and his poetry. Encourage students to describe their own writing process. Start a poetry workshop and have students record their thoughts on the subjects and techniques used. Find aspects of local culture that might inspire students (fairs, concerts, art galleries, car shows, theatre or movies) and visit them if possible. Students can take photos/notes and later attempt to turn their experiences into poetry. How do these experiences affect their writing?
