Darren Sardelli is a fun, animated author who knows how to get everyone excited about poetry! In his lower grade assembly, students solve poetry riddles, illustrate poems with their imaginations, become characters in Darren’s poems, learn about rhythm and rhyme, and experience the joy of words. Older students discover how to put ideas in motion, make their poems and stories stand out, learn how to empower themselves with words, use their imaginations to make objects (and life) more interesting, and participate in Poetry Challenges that get them in the mood to write. Participants will be motivated to read and write poetry, start an idea book, and think in a creative direction.
