Poetry Teaching

I am just about to plan for a block of poetry and thought I would share two very useful websites with you.

Poetry Class is an excellent site formed by the Poetry Society and DFES. They have guidance on how to assess poetry, a Poem a Term link with a poetry related to the poetry objectives for each term in Years 1 - 6 and loads to links to kid's poetry on the internet.

The other useful site is the poetry section on Literacy Lessons. It has lesson ideas for each year group from Y3 upwards and explains how to use poetry in guided reading and shared reading and writing.

If anyone else knows of useful sites, please post them here. I may even share the odd ode with you all later!!! hehehe
