A Poetry Teacher's Toolkit : Book 3: Style, Shape and Structure

Professional poets spend many hours crafting a finished piece of work, yet we expect children in school to sit down and write when they are told to, whether they feel inspired or not.

This series of four books is a toolkit to help teachers build a positive framework for children to read, write, understand and enjoy poetry - to bring a creative spark to the poetry classroom.

A combination of featured poems, creative ideas, structured lesson plans and differentiated photocopiable activity sheets gives the series a unique flexible approach.

Book 3 looks at style, shape and structure, covering: style and structure; regular and standard forms; the impact of layout; free form; "found" poetry; and concrete poetry.
