Themes of Poetry

Expand Your Mind with Poetry Book 2 is part of a two books series designed to make poetry accessible to students at all levels of ability so it assumes little prior knowledge of poetry. Students simply need a basic knowledge of grammar such as common parts of speech and of basic language concepts such as syllables.

Book 2 in this series builds on Book 1 in that it takes a thematic approach to poetry writing, providing stimuli and scaffolding for producing quality creative poetry. Its four parts cover: identity and relationships (friends, family, home and self); the five senses and their effect on our emotions; nature; and topics to stretch the imagination and expand the mind.

Ages: 11-13 | Pages: 66 | Code: 5809 | ISBN: 9781927251416
