All of the poems in Issue 11 are also available as free poem posters to download, print and display. There are also free, downloadable teaching resources around the poems ‘Don’t Go, Joe’ by Susanne Connolly (looking at writing limericks), ‘Moon speaks in the form of a villanelle’ by Emma Purshouse (looking at imaginary languages) and ‘Night Owl, Reading’ by Patrick Fisher (looking at writing tanka). Each resource guides you through getting to know the poem with your class and talking about its poetic techniques, and includes prompts for a class activity and individual writing. Please click on the titles below to download the posters and teaching resources.
We would love to see the poems your children create in response to Tyger Tyger. Email us on tygertygermagazine@gmail.com for some free, personalised feedback!
