All of the poems in Issue 8 are also available as free poem-posters to download, print and display. There are also free, downloadable teaching resources around the poems ‘Be a snail’ by Roy Moss, ‘New Beginnings’ by Emma Phillips, and ‘Small Things and Big Awe’ by Abbie Werner James. 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. Please click on the titles below to download the posters and teaching resources.
