Accelerating writing progress using poetry with The Literacy Place

In this practical workshop; Louise and Sheena will introduce some research based; high impact teaching strategies and share short poetry lessons that can be differentiated across all class levels. To support students to accelerate progress in writing; we need to explicitly teach writing skills and plan opportunities for them to complete quality pieces of writing that are reviewed and celebrated. Poetry is a useful genre to do this as writing tasks are short; creative; and rich in vocabulary and literary devices. The skills learned in poetry writing can easily be transferred to other writing forms.
