Hi All

A spoken word educator I know has created some great new resources for teaching poetry in schools.

Just thought I'd share the info as per the below

Best wishes

Lettie

Hi Lettie

hope you're all good? been writing or performing much?



Thanks so much for agreeing to try out the free poetry resources. The Youtube channel is now live and loaded up with its’ first batch of poems, raps and interactive writing games! Check it out HERE.<redir.aspx?REF=OwB_1xYCYXFTF2xA7o74mnv-5szJQy45dgRyTFPLx7AU1-Esh1bUCAFodHRwczovL2dvby5nbC9IcnVBcWw.>


There are separate playlists for reluctant writers, and gifted and talented kids – if you’d like any more specific input on how to use the channel just let me know…

If you like what you see, please do subscribe to the channel<redir.aspx?REF=OwB_1xYCYXFTF2xA7o74mnv-5szJQy45dgRyTFPLx7AU1-Esh1bUCAFodHRwczovL2dvby5nbC9IcnVBcWw.> and if you know other teachers, parents and kids who you think might enjoy the content please share it with them. If you’re pushed for time there’s a few sample social media posts below - but best of all would be a personal recommendation from you to someone you think might like to use it.

The feedback from the trials we ran has been great and I believe this channel will be a valuable tool to help teachers quickly engage kids with poetry, and inspire them to build skills, have fun and write poems of their own!


It’s a new resource so I'd love to know your thoughts on the videos or hear suggestions for other types of content you think would be useful…


Cheers

Simon
