On this page, you will find a collection of exercises and ideas for teaching poetry, writing and spoken-word in the classroom. Most of these I have developed or collected for my youth and community workshops and classroom teaching.
This page will be updated frequently throughout Oct-Dec 2018. Resources for performance poetry in the HSC ‘Craft of Writing’ will be uploaded soon. Sign up below for updates or contact me for more.
Resources for teachers:
