How to Teach Poetry Writing at Key Stage 3 is a practical manual for teachers, to be used directly in the classroom. The book begins with a series of poetry games designed to warm up creativity and strengthen the imagination. These are followed by a series of creative poetry workshops, based on the writers own experience both as a teacher and poet running workshops in schools, which focus on developing a poetry base for young writers. This imaginative base provides a range of poetic techniques and gives pupils experience in developing a repertoire of different forms. The book also offers advice on how to organize an effective workshop, and demonstrates how to teach poetry writing in a dynamic, creative and imaginative way in relationship with the KS3 national framework. Pie Corbett also provides useful advice on working with visiting poets in school, addresses for relevant websites, a list of books for followup work and a glossary of poetic forms and techniques. Workshops include writing from first hand observation autobiography valuing our lives writing about paintings, sculpture and music surreal boxes and the bag of words secrets, lies, wishes and dreams creating images, taking word snapshots riddles hiding the truth and red wheelbarrows and messages for mice.
