Songs of Ourselves. Poetry Introduction Lesson

I've designed this lesson to introduce poetry to KS4 students at GCSE, but it would work as well for KS3 too. It is an overview of what poetry is, building on what they already know.

There are several games and activities which are linked to Songs of Ourselves, but easily adapted to any poetry you want to tackle with them.

There is a poetry carousel as the main activity, so simply print the poems they will be studying or some poems about poetry for them to analyse.

Enjoy!
