I found the article ‘Hey Poetry’ very inspirational, especially the idea of learning poetry by heart and having fun with words. I liked the way the whole class was involved in the poetry lesson, from the teacher reading it aloud to the class and ...

I liked the way it has a circular pattern coming back to its main theme at the end though with the slightest changing of words to move from ‘Could’ to a more assertive ‘Dare’ in the last stanza, Blake’s use of pictures in support of his songs makes me want to follow that idea.

The learning objective would be to find the words that the author uses to make the images really clear. I think that I would read the poem out to the class, discussing the images in each stanza. I would divide the children into mixed ability groups and ask the children to draw and colour an image on A2 paper of what they can see in the words of each verse. For example in the first verse: Tyger! Tyger! burning ...

It inspired me to think of different ways of tackling poetry and making it accessible to children. I particularly liked the part in the O’Flynn/Powling paper that emphasised Tom’s thoughts being that ‘poets are not superior beings with a gift beyond any that he can lay claim to but simply people like himself’. This is a good perspective for a child to have about poetry and it seems important ...

The objectives would be to look at imagery and how personal experience can be reflected in poetry. After reading the poem to the class we would discuss any words they are unsure. We were establish that this was possibly caused by the fact that the poem was written a couple of centuries ago, when they sometimes used different language. I would try and find some images of childhood ...

I would choose The Poison Tree. The language in it is simple and it has a strong central image of a tree which makes it accessible. Children might relate well to it, as it seems genuinely representative of how children are. When I read it I was reminded of times in my own childhood when bitter resentment felt like it is physically taking over my body and sometimes lead to vindictive behaviour I would ...

I am more familiar with other examples of playing with language such as songs, proverbs, puns and advertisement slogans. I love listening to music but terrible at trying to make out the words. I can remember learning raps by heart when I was a child so I could join in and can still recite the lyrics from “The ...

I would start the lesson by reading the poem to the class. I would then split the class into four groups and give each group a stanza to add actions to; the groups would perform their stanza to the class. This activity would help the pupils to think about the meaning of the poem, develop their ability to work together and build their confidence with poetry. I would then explain the concept of theme, explaining it as what ...
