Sun Mar 16 Aiden Yeh – Teaching the Art of Poetic Discourse

Aiden says, “I’ll be talking a little bit about the presentation on  poetic discourse that I presented in a conference in Shanghai last  October. I will share a few effective teaching approaches in teaching  English-major students, the basics of writing modern poetry in a fun and  meaningful way. I’ll show a few examples of students’ poems (and mine,  too) produced as part of the creative writing workshop.In Blackboard Collaborate (Elluminate) http://learningtimesevents.org/webheads/ Thanks to an ongoing grant from http://www.learningtimes.com/
