This series is designed to help pupils write poetry and comprises two packs, each containing a teacher's handbook and a pack of 32 cards. Pack A is for use with lower juniors (seven to nine) and Pack B is for use with the nine to twelve age group. This sample pack contains sample cards from both A and B and extracts from the teacher's handbooks. The cards contain 30 units, and each card is based around a theme appropriate to the needs and interests of the groups it is aimed at. The activities created around these themes can be integrated into classroom projects and topic work. The card format also allows the teacher flexibility in using the material. The teacher's handbook gives practical advice on the use of the pupil cards and provides an informative look at the teaching of poetry in schools with a section on the formation of a school poetry policy. The author is a primary language advisor and has written "Storyworlds" and "The Spoken Word Project".
