2 Coming soon…for free ‘The Art of being a Brilliant MFL teacher’ A 10 minute guide to the creative use of Poetry in the Languages classroom And possibly… ‘The Art of being a Brilliant MFL teacher’ A 60 minute guide to the New National Curriculum in Languages 6 x 10 minute guides – Poetry, The G Word, Translation & Transcription, Phonics, Literature and Authentic Texts, Intercultural Understanding

3 Why? -Rhymes, poems and songs are enjoyable and memorable! -It deepens children’s intercultural understandingintercultural understanding -It allows children to reproduce language with confidence and fluency -Young children are more often than not brought up acquiring 1L vocabulary via poems, rhymes & songs – it is familiar

4 Why? -It is a natural and holistic way for children to learn -Poetry lends itself to multisensory and active learning and enhances receptive and productive L2 skills -It helps learners to develop oracy and literacy skills and more accurate pronunciation (via phonics) -It can be used to help reinforce grammar and syntax ‘painlessly’

5 10 ideas to take away 1.Poem-a-week Aim to include at least one poem (song / rhyme) into your existing SoL 2.Use ICT (such as www.storybird.com * ) to help to engage reluctant writers in MFLwww.storybird.com 3.One image many words Choose one piece of artwork and let their imaginations go wild!

6 4.Start simple Acrostic poems and Calligrams are a great starting point. Once learners confidence grows, move onto Haikus and other more advanced types of poetry. 5.Poetry Slam! Turn it into a competition and have learners ‘perform’ their poems in front of an audience. This could be peers in class, in a year group assembly or even to parents.

7 6.Create a classroom poetry anthology Learners of all abilities could contribute to an annual MFL Poetry anthology. The final version could be printed / published and held in the school library and / or the web. 7.Poetry quilt Create a colourful paper quilt wall display of pupils’ poems and art work (based on Barefoot Billion project)

8 8.Podcast Poetry Encourage creative speaking as well as writing using tools such as Sonocent Audio Notetaker and PeriscopeSonocent Audio Notetaker 9.Poet-tree Hang pupils’ work off the branches of a tree like you would Christmas ornaments. 10. Longform poetry With your older and more advanced learners, delve into sonnets, limericks, ballads and odes.
