Spring Educator Workshop | Harold Green for Flowers for the Living Foundation presents Black Roses and Black Oak

About the Event

The content of this event, based on Harold Green’s Black Roses and Black Oak poetry series with curriculum developed by Joshua Wiggins, is appropriate for learners of all ages. This curriculum provides space for children, teens, and adults alike to reflect on personal heroes and pay tribute through writing and art.

Carefully curated into titled groupings including advocates, curators, innovators, luminaries, trailblazers, brave hearts, champions, dreamers, guardians, and humanitarians, Harold Green III has poured a solid foundation of poetry and artwork for educators to guide students to be inspired in verbal, artistic, and written expressions.

By using these resources in the classroom, teachers gain unlimited freedom to tailor lessons to include rich wordsmanship, positivity and gratitude, representation and diversity, the elements of poetry, creative art pieces, speaking and performing opportunities, and reflections.

The curriculum for this event is available free of charge to educators. Those in attendance will be entered into a raffle to receive a classroom set of the Black Roses and Black Oak poetry series books.

This program is free of charge, but RSVP is required.

Illinois educators will receive ISBE credit for attending.
