Every child should be able to enjoy the fun of reading and writing
poetry. This inspirational book gets them going. Teaching children
to write great poetry is a gift of a book - written by a teacher,
with many successful years of teaching children to enjoy writing
poetry, for teachers. It's packed with great ideas to get creative
juices flowing. Metaphors, similes, alliteration, rhymes and
onomatopoeia - they're all there - proving there's nothing like
poetry for inspiring a love of literacy. The children learn to
express their feelings towards the world around them. From the
joyful daftness of nonsense poems and nursery rhymes to the
challenge of narrative poems and cautionary tales, it smoothes the
way, with lesson plans, support sheets and starbursts of creative
ideas. Just watch their enthusiastic response to its
well-structured fun. Acrostics, list poems, kennings, enjambment
and shape poems are all included with suggestions of topics which
start with the interest of the child. The children's confidence
will grow with their success, along with your own teaching skills,
as they respond enthusiastically to the hilarity of limericks and
clerihews, and grasp the skill of writing succinctly to create
haikus and cinquains. Each chapter gives examples of the type of
poem and a plan to guide pupils to recognize its characteristics
and brainstorm ideas to create a class poem. This practice gives
children the confidence to plan and create their own poetry. To
empower your less able poets, there are carefully planned writing
frames to encourage them to succeed. Poetry writing also brings
about improvement in creative writing. The skills of choosing
interesting vocabulary, creating their own similes and metaphors
will spill over into their story writing. Children will learn to
use their senses to enhance their descriptions and creating vivid
pictures in the readers minds. As schools are returning to the
cross-curricular approach to learning, there is scope to link up
with others subjects. Watch the childrens enthusiasm for surfing
the net to find the origins of nursery rhymes, creating imaginative
haikus and cinquains for their own Christmas cards and miming the
actions of their cautionary tales for their class assembly.
