On Monday the 6th of November, Stephen Murray visited the school and gave a workshop on Poetry. I was not looking forward to the workshop as poetry is usually very dull and boring, however Stephen was very funny and made it enjoyable and we all got on very well.
We did several exercises which included writing a not so serious story about murdering someone and also a more typical poem using the advice Stephen shared with us. At the end of the workshop, we watched a very moving video about our society and just how wrong it can be at times.

I really enjoyed the workshop and thought it was very worthwhile. It changed my opinion on poetry and showed me it's not always as boring as it seems.
