There are also free, downloadable teaching resources around the poems ‘A Dreamy Afternoon on the Common’ by Rhiannon Oliver, ‘The Pond’ by Hugh Dunkerley, and ‘What Spring Says’ by Carys Shannon. Each resource offers ways to get to know the poem, talking points around poetic techniques, and prompts for a class activity and an individual poem.
