Can I Have A Word?
Students, don't be put off by the idea that this resource is geared to teachers. Browse through this resource to get ahead of the teacher; you just might discover the joy of writing!
Barbican Education has put together an interesting site designed to give 'teachers new ideas and insights to inspire creative writing in the classroom' by emphasizing the importance of words. There are 4 project areas: 'the elements,' 'the human body,' 'the odyssey,' and 'changing voices.' In each project, the visitor can listen to selected poets, watch visual stimuli aimed at firing 'children's imaginations' and also get ideas and activities to 'encourage creative writing.' There are links to other sites, bios of the poets featured, writing tips, and of course, a teacher's curriculum.
