Simon Armitage Poet Laureate

(1)
A fully-adaptable 15-slide PowerPoint on The Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom and Simon Armitage’s appointment. The PowerPoint contains: A history of the role of Poet Laureate The role itself Payment How the role has changed over time Famous past Poets Laureate Differing opinions of the role A biography of Simon Armitage Simon Armitage’s reactions to becoming PL and his ambitions for the role. Many slides contain thought-bubbles which could be used with a class if needed to further discussion. The PowerPoint could be used: As an introduction to Armitage’s Poetry at GCSE For KS3 classes in the summer term as an introduction to poetry In PSHE exploring the role of poetry in wider society In an assembly exploring poetry/society Where copyright infringement is not an issue, I have included pictures of poets. Where copyright would be violated, I have given links to pictures and news stories. You can of course adapt the PowerPoint for yourself and include the images on slides. Best wishes, Englbee x
