"Words Are Visual" with Asha French

Recently, The Crayons Girls Draw With had the honor to receive instruction in a creative writing class with Miss Asha French. Poet, Lucille Clifton was introduced to class via the recitation of the poem Won't You Celebrate With Me. Students were provided an opportunity to discuss the poem in depth communicating their translation of Ms. Clifton's words. As a result of utilizing select 1 lined phrases from the poem the students were challenged to write their version with no breaks of thought.

Visions of Rainy, Inc. thanks Asha French for her contribution to the student's journey of 'Self-Literacy'. It was awesome to watch the students bathe in your rain of positive encouragement and recognition.
