Fun NCAA tourney-style event for teachers to get students engaged in poetry. Please RT or pass this link to every teacher you know. I ASSURE you it is a great product (I would know, b/c I built it) and they will love the experience (I would know, b/c teachers keep telling me so)!
"Poetry, anyone?" The @MadnessPoetry 2024 schedule has been posted, and authlete applications and group leader registrations are now OPEN! We're starting late so the ramp-up will be fast and steep! It's party time!!! 🎉

Edna doesn’t do what most cows do. She’d rather be playing her tuba! She dreams of a standing ovation, but the other cows don’t seem to appreciate the music. She must figure out how to woo the audience before her dream slips away.
