Through the teaching of poetry as a subject, I find that students can often become overwhelmed by the thought of deconstructing and analysing. When fully explained, demythologised and likened to song-lyrics, photographs or paintings, soon the fear dissolves and they enter the reading from a fresh perspective.
The terms “lyrical photographs” and “word-paintings” stemmed from work with Year 9 students.
This four-page resource was developed to provide students with a view, from a writer’s perspective, providing a fantastic starting-point for critical-questioning. The resource also contains a list of 24 forms of poetry and a Task Sheet to allow the student to attempt their own poem, in any format, post-classroom discussion.
