All of the poems in Issue 12 are also available as free poem posters to download, print and display. There are also free, downloadable teaching resources around the poems ‘Pocket of Time’ by Rachel Beto (exploring idioms), ‘Lightning Fairy’ by Moe Phillips (exploring weather and magic), and ‘How to Spell a Spell’ by Jennifer Watson (exploring imaginative imagery). 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 Magazine. Email us on tygertygermagazine@gmail.com for some free, personalised feedback!
