Fun with poetry Book

From the back cover of 'Fun with Poetry'. Fun with Poetry is for teachers who believe poetry study begins with enjoyment. It is not another anthology, although it does contain new poems by young Australians. It is a resource book of ideas and activities for poetry lessons at all secondary levels. It is also useful in oral English courses. Each chapter introduces a new way of experiencing poetry. There are chapters on multivoice reading, voice effects, poetry and music, sound effects, drama, poetry and art, pop music, songwriting and parody. Serious discussion is encouraged as an essential part of preparing any poem for effective presentation. All chapters contain well-detailed class activities illustrated by an associated tape. This tape contains the work of students who have already used and enjoyed the activities described. It provides lively examples of the end-products of each chapter.
