In 1988, WITS published Making Poems as a resource for both teachers and WITS instructors. It contains over 80 pages of poetic exercises as well as student examples from past WITS workshops. Making Poems was edited by Nancy McCabe Francoeur and Daniel Humphrey, with illustrations by Susan Eash.
You are invited to use these exercises either before or after WITS visits your classroom. However, if you do use any of WITS exercises with your students before WITS visits your classroom, please let your trip leader know in advance in order to avoid overlap.
