How to Teach Poetry Writing is a practical, activity-based book of writing workshops for teachers of junior classes. Each workshop will help you to build enjoyable activities for pupils, to help them to develop practical writing skills. Workshops include redrafting and revising activities, poetry writing frames, poems from a range of cultures, traditional and contemporary poems, poems by children, and lots of writing advice and plenty of fun.
Each workshop has been trailed in classrooms across the country, and is linked to NLS objectives.
This book is Montessori's own exposition of the theory behind her innovative educational techniques. She shows parents, teachers and administrators how to "free a child to learn through his own efforts".
