A good poetry idea should help the children feel excited about writing
and enable them to think of what to write - developing their
imagination, creativity and writing skills.
Jumpstart! Poetry is about involving children as creative writers
through writing poems. The book contains a bank of ideas that can be
drawn upon when teaching poetry but also at other times to provide a
source for creative writing that children relish. There are more than
100 quick warm-ups to fire the brain into a creative mood and to
'jumpstart' reading, writing and performing poetry in any key stage 1 or
2 classroom.
Practical, easy-to-do and vastly entertaining, this new 'jumpstarts'
will appeal to busy teachers in any primary classroom.
