Download or read book My Pet Turtle other poems written by Year 5&6 at Anson Primary School and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of National Poetry Day 2011, the children of Anson Primary School, in North London, began to explore different styles of poetry. The teachers were so impressed by the enthusiasm and creativity of the children in Year 5&6 that they decided to plan two further weeks studying each form in detail. From poems created in the 1400s to modern day poetic inventions the children began a creative process where the only rules were the convention of the poem and the topic of the day. With over one thousand poems submitted on the school's learning platform, in ten days, the children excelled themselves. Their work was original, creative, moving and inspiring. The staff knew that the poetry needed to reach a wider audience and so the decision was taken to publish their work. So, this is a collection of poems created by a highly talented group of children aged just 10 and 11. We hope you enjoy them all.

Download or read book Also a Poet written by Ada Calhoun and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A staggering memoir from New York Times-bestselling author Ada Calhoun tracing her fraught relationship with her father and their shared obsession with a great poet When Ada Calhoun stumbled upon old cassette tapes of interviews her father, celebrated art critic Peter Schjeldahl, had conducted for his never-completed biography of poet Frank O’Hara, she set out to finish the book her father had started forty years earlier. As a lifelong O’Hara fan who grew up amid his bohemian cohort in the East Village, Calhoun thought the project would be easy, even fun, but the deeper she dove, the more she had to face not just O’Hara’s past, but also her father’s, and her own. The result is a groundbreaking and kaleidoscopic memoir that weaves compelling literary history with a moving, honest, and tender story of a complicated father-daughter bond. Also a Poet explores what happens when we want to do better than our parents, yet fear what that might cost us; when we seek their approval, yet mistrust it. In reckoning with her unique heritage, as well as providing new insights into the life of one of our most important poets, Calhoun offers a brave and hopeful meditation on parents and children, artistic ambition, and the complexities of what we leave behind.

Drawing on rich vignettes of students from different racial, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, it describes and analyzes the work of eight to ten-year-old U.S. students involved in a month-long poetry unit. Children Writing Poems outlines the value of a ‘poetic-functional’ approach to help children convey a poem’s meaning and mood, and expresses the need for educators to scaffold children’s oral readings and performances over time.
