The Voice of Literature

The Voice of Literature

The funding of this grant will be used to bring in local poet and Newton North alumni, Chen Chen, to give students exposure to a real life poet and help them refine their craft. Chen Chen is a successful poet-in-residence at Brandeis University. We would like haveg Chen Chen come to a number of English classes to run personalized workshops over the course of a few days. The unit will deepen student appreciation for the power of the written word while celebrating diversity and empowering students to speak their minds.
