Poem Detectives for Primary School: Creative approaches for writing and editing poems

By Liz Breslin

Poem Detectives is for anyone who knows some poem basics and wants to further explore this world of words. Although it's primarily written for primary students in Years 4-6, many of the activities have been used with younger and older groups as well.

As poem detectives, students will focus on poems or pieces of poems, discovering and deciphering patterns and tricks to help them in their own writing. This book

inspires students' curiosity about the process of creating and editing poems while also building their confidence to tackle it. It includes: a wide selection of class warm-ups to mix and match with the lesson-length activities; introduces some unusual but easy poem forms to motivate students to build their own work; encourages free play with words and experimentation with language; and offers practical guidance on how to present poems.
