In The Writing of Poetry, David Mallick has provided a practical way to encourage an appreciation of poetry in middle to upper secondary students. The five chapters are not sequential but each introduces a slightly more difficult concept than the last. Each of Chapters 2 to 5 is organised in a similar way, inlcuding: - groups of poems with discussion questions - a small anthology section - a section on drafting - a number of practical activities - ideas for the students' own writing The book is addressed to students and work is carried out in small groups, by individuals and with the whole class.
This book investigates methods for fostering an appreciation of poetry and developing creative writing skills among secondary school students. David Mallick, an educator, presents a structured pedagogical framework designed to guide students through increasingly complex poetic concepts. The text utilizes a combination of analytical reading and practical composition exercises to bridge the gap between consuming poetry and producing original work.
