Book Description
This is a great new resource that provides a selection of poems, lesson plans and worksheets, designed to be used by Key Stage 2 teachers in literacy lessons. The poems model the poetry writing skills that children need to acquire in Key Stage 2 and are based on a variety of environmental issues, such as recycling, dramatic weather changes, energy sources, water conservation, human impact on the environment and environmental disasters (like oil spills). The book contains 24 lessons, and each lesson includes cross-curricular links to support learning in other subject areas. The books will help teachers in engaging children with environmental issues and schools to become more sustainable organisations.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Reaching the hearts and minds through the use of poetry is a brilliant way to give children an understanding of the world around them. The poems Andrew writes do this with great effect! Sometimes haunting, at times breath-taking, always thought provoking, his poems and associated cross-curricular activities reach far beyond the confines of the curriculum to help learners appreciate more fully the responsibility we all have in order to take care of the environment in which we live. A lovely resource that teachers will no doubt use again and again. –John Murray, English tutor, Hopwood Hall College
