The title of Cork&#8217;s hour-long presentation is: &#8220;Rap, Rhythm &amp; Rhyme: Rebuilding the Writing Foundation.&#8221; The public is encouraged to attend this free, family-friendly event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We must nurture the seeds of brilliance waiting to blossom within each pupil,&#8221; said Cork. &#8220;If kids are not learning the way we teach, we need to teach the way they learn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cork&#8217;s fast-paced writing workshop is designed to empower students to systematically organize their thoughts and communicate them effectively on paper. According to Cork, &#8220;Music, laughter, mnemonic devices and audience participation will make the workshop a visually stimulating and physically intoxicating buffet of teachable techniques for professional educators who are absolutely serious about reaching each and every one of their students.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The word SBA (SAY-ba) is a Kemetic (Egyptian) term that refers to teachings, wisdom and study. The SBA Academy assists PK &#8211; 12th grade youth in language arts, mathematics and African and African American culture and history. The SBA Academy meets Tuesdays during the school year from 5 pm &#8211; 7: 15 pm.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, call (260) 427-6780.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/bc\/93635.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Parks and Recreation Director, Al Moll, speaks during the McCulloch Park rededication.
