Monday Lyricism Club Week 1: Intro to Writing & Journaling

Monday Lyricism Club Week 1: Intro to Writing & Journaling

Free for youth ages 12-18

Program Description:

Writing lyrics can be a means of journalling, venting, or of telling someone how we feel. How we’re able to process our own emotions can be heavily portrayed in our words whether we want it to or not. We will learn how to express our emotions clearly through the use of spoken word & lyricism in the hopes of sharing a message of importance with our peers.

This week we’ll discuss Plutchik’s wheel of emotions & reflect on our current feelings. Youth will test their own emotional intelligence and write on the outcome and explore how in sync they are with their emotions. We will finish our discussion with a lyrical analysis of Ladders by Mac Miller and discuss our takeaways from the song reflecting on how it made us feel and why. From the notes taken, we will take some time to write about ourselves.
