Synopsis

Many teachers devote large amounts of time searching for resources to meet the objectives for teaching poetry, as specified in the "National Literacy Strategy". The "Key Stage Two Poetry Pack" has been developed to include a selection of poems which can be used to meet all of the Key Stage Two requirements for poetry writing. As a teaching aid it saves time by linking each poem to one or more of the objectives. There is a 'notes for teachers' section accompanying each poem, which includes suggestions for using the poem with either the whole class or group. All of the poems have been used in school workshops wiht Key Stage Two children and most are written by Alan Peat, although the collection also includes poems by Colin McNaughton and Michael Rosen. All poetry styles are covered, including rhyming and non-rhyming, Haiku, expanding/contrcting poems, shape poems, rap and free verse. Alan Peat also provides five writing frames to help children to structure their responses to poems effectively.
