In-School Writing Workshops
are the
lifeblood of WordPlay. WordPlay works
with 350 high school students in ongoing
in-school workshops at 6 Baton Rouge schools.
Teaching poets
work alongside
teachers to implement a
series of writing workshops that generate
a culture of excitement about writing and teach basic and advanced skills.
Partner teachers are the primary guides for WordPlay
programs within each school community.

The
WordPlay Curriculum
Developed in-house by Anna

a number of the most current resources available on teen literacy
and life skills development, while also focusing on the rich
backgrounds offered by the teaching poets themselves. If you
would like more information about the WordPlay curriculum, contact
