There are also free, downloadable teaching resources around the poems ‘As Told by the Giant’ by Stefan Karlsson, ‘My Mate, Mark’ by Helen Dineen, and ‘Great Women of Sport Clerihews’ by Lorraine Mariner. 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.
