Creative Writing for Copycatters
poetry ideas and models for copying
This is another fulsome set of resources on the theme of Change [NPD’s in 2018].
Help yourself and hopefully enjoy:
2 – I Will Change – Student Sheet
6 – Search Engine Change Titles
8 – Change Quotes 2 + Mix + Poem
10 – Bowie’s Changes – Student Sheet
This is a fulsome resource based on the theme of Freedom [the NPD theme in 2017].
There are student/writer notes, models, suggestions, prompts, whole poem sheets, teacher/guidance notes and a short PowerPoint. Dip in and out. Here are the resources:
As ever, the ‘copycat’ writing ideas I so often provide are based around producing List Poems and I do recommend this approach when working with students/young people [or any age really!].
These don’t need a national focus on a theme and I have re-written what follows slightly if any would like to use them now. Help yourselves:
As the resources for previous National Poetry Days are still available, I will be posting these while I spend time preparing other creative writing materials for presenting.
Although these were always linked to a particular theme of the year, this does not date them – I will try to remove direct reference to the timing in resources if they exist.
This year’s UK National Poetry Day is on the 1st October. Its theme is Vision.
It might seem so, but it’s never too early to start thinking about and planning for this. I had posted the following resources on my other blog when considering teachers might then have liked this ‘heads-up’ at a time when they would otherwise be focused on existing teaching, not least for examination groups.
That has all changed. Without detailing the obvious, using these resources now with a range of students could give everyone plenty of time to have writing ready for National Poetry Day – all being well, and we need to be hopeful.
