Filming and sharing
Quite an interesting heading for this post as two vodcasts made in Canberra in March go live on both the Dorothea Mackellar website and the National literacy and numeracy website.
I share two of my most successful poetry strategies that have been consistently road tested and bring amazing poetry from children. It feels a bit raw to share online and to share such hard-won techniques, but I know that many classrooms and schools want to teach poetry and many children take to poetry writing so naturally- it's a wonderful form of communication. So here are two of my techniques shared online. Enjoy!
