WHAT IS FREEDOM TO ME? with Rachel McCrum
A poetry workshop that asks students to think about what freedom means to them: how they imagine it, how
they find it, and how they express it. What are the tricky questions to ask of freedom, for ourselves and for everyone else? And what does poetry have to do with it all? Our ideas of what it means to be free have shifted
over a time of pandemic lockdowns. This workshop seeks to help pupils explore and express the freedoms
they most value, and is adaptable for either written or spoken word.
Materials: Pen and paper.
Grade Levels: Elementary Cycle 2, 3, Secondary Grades 7-11
