Welcome to Lucy and Diarmid's ICT Tips and Tricks in Literacy and English Language 2009. Diarmid is at Dalguise Outdoor Education Centre, so Sharon has kindly offered to assist.

POETRY

At Sciennes in P6, our pupils focus on Performance poetry as part of our school-wide Language Programme of Study. You might consider using YouTube to source some multimedia versions of poems.

WH Auden "The Night Mail"
Alfred Noyes 'reads' "The Highwayman"
Animation of "The Highwayman"

Performance Poetry
Pupils could create an additional verse, changing font to follow on in the style of Roger Stevens' calligram poem "Louder."

Louder !
