On Monday 6th October Stephen Murray came to our school for a poetry class . Stephen had what many different methods of teaching poetry . However, between his random stories and jokes we were all laughing and looking forward to the rest of the workshop within five minutes of it beginning.
Stephen started by getting us to do different writing exercises, each one of them had a different twist to make them easier to be honest. His stories and jokes were very funny!
At the end of the day, Stephen showed us a video to do two things: 1. To show our creativity 2. To show us that poetry can be anything you want it to be. The video was about bullying and how unfair the world can be sometimes. It was put to music and was a really moving video. To finish the workshop, Stephen got every student to write and submit their very own poem.
