These pages are designed to help you and your students to get the most out of the Poetry Archive. Here you will find a wealth of information, lesson plans and ideas for inspiring activities to bring poetry to life in your classroom.
Each term a different poet is in residence here, talking about poetry with anyone who wants to join in the conversation. You are welcome to explore our archive of past residencies and read some of the lively and varied discussions you'll find there.
Use My Archive to create your own poetry lessons, and share them with colleagues.
To listen to the Archive's recordings, software called Adobe Flash Player (version 10) needs to be installed on your computer and you need to enable JavaScript in your browser settings.
