National Poetry
Day is a mass celebration, a special day on which all are invited to
discover and share the enjoyment of poems. It's a chance to let language
off the leash and to relish the sounds that words can make when they
are spoken with delight.
Task:
1. Visit the website for National Poetry Day and choose one poem that you particularly like.
To celebrate National Poetry Day 2015 there are poems
on the theme of light from Deborah Alma, Brian Moses, Chrissie Gittins,
Liz Brownlee, Michaela Morgan, Jan Dean, Paul Cookson, Roger Stevens,
Joseph Cohelo, Indigo Williams and Sally Crabtree.
2. Be ready to present or read that poem to the class.
3. Look for images/photos of Light that might inspire you.
4. Begin the process of writing your own poem.
