Football Poetry Workbook

This twenty-one page student workbook contains twelve poems on the theme of football, designed to engage reluctant readers. Each poem has an accompanying activity. The culminating activity is for students to write a letter to their local newspaper arguing either for or against the case that the job of a football manager has become too stressful today. Stimulus material to promote discussion on this includes newspaper reports on sacked managers. This is an absolute bargain, even if I do say so myself!
Poems include:

1. Boys’ Game
2. Give us back our ball, missus
3. Oi, Ref
4. Goalpost Blues
5. Several haikus - write your own haiku
6. England v Germany
7. A Manager’s Tale
8. Letter to Newspaper
9. There’s only one Michael Owen
10. It Makes You Think
11. Hard Man
