Developing children's writing abilities boosts their confidence,
creates enjoyment and relevance in the task and cultivates a range
of decision-making and problem-solving skills that can then be
applied across the curriculum. The Countdown series provides all
the support you need in helping children to improve their prose,
poetry and non-fiction writing.
This guide provides all the support you need in helping pupils
to improve their poetry writing. Countdown to Poetry Writing is a
comprehensive and flexible resource that you can use in different
ways, including:
- stand-alone modules that cover all the essential aspects of
writing a poem, including word play, use of metaphor, rhyme and
many others
- countdown flowchart providing an overview showing how modules
are linked and how teachers can progress through them with the
pupils
- photocopiable activity sheets for each module that show how to
make the decisions and solve the problems that all writers face
along the road from first idea to finished piece of work
- teachers notes for modules, with tips and guidance, including
how modules can be used in the classroom, links to other modules
and curriculum links, and advice on helping and guiding pupils in
their writing
- a self-study component so that children can make their own
progress through the materials, giving young writers a sense of
independence in thinking about their work and offering built-in
scaffolding of tasks so that less experienced or less confident
children get more support from the resource
- 'headers' for each module showing where along the 'countdown
path' you are at that point.
In short, Countdown to Poetry Writing saves valuable planning
time and gives you all the flexibility you need - teachers might
want to utilise either the self-study or 'countdown' aspects of the
book, or simply dip into it for individual lesson activities to fit
in with their own programmes of work.
