Description - A Poetry Teacher's Toolkit by Collette Drifte

Professional poets spend many hours crafting a finished piece of work, yet we expect children in school to sit down and write when they are told to, whether they feel inspired or not. This series of four books is a toolkit to help teachers build a positive framework for children to read, write, understand and enjoy poetry - to bring a creative spark to the poetry classroom. A combination of featured poems, creative ideas, structured lesson plans and differentiated photocopiable activity sheets gives the series a unique flexible approach. Book 2 looks at rhymes, rhythms and rattles, covering: rhythm and rhyme in poetry; sounds; alliteration; words to create effects; onomatopoeia; and metaphor and simile.
