Journey Overseas with Poetry

 

The activity aims to raise students' interest in learning English through fun, interactive poetry workshops, in which students will develop their knowledge in poetry recital. They may also have the opportunity to participate in a public poetry performance.

A Dub Poet visiting Hong Kong will teach students about poetry writing and recital. Students who perform well in the workshops will be invited to present their work in a performance to be held in May. Teachers will also have the opportunity to enrich their techniques in using poetry in the English Language class.
