This project will encourage pupils to explore poetry through the imaginative manipulation of image and sound and through face-to-face and online interaction with a practising poet to produce multimodal texts uploaded to a website. Through these activities, pupils will learn how to analyse a poem’s effects and to respond to these in detail. Teachers will be introduced to new poetry texts and to stimulating and challenging ways of exploring these through critical use of digital media.

This is mood template created by Adrian Burke, English consultant for use with the project. This can be used to develop pupil's response to poems. To begin with, it could be used to respond to a piece of music or image. Pupil's could highlight the words in different colours - red for 'I don't know', orange for 'I think I know' and green for 'I know'. This can then be developed so that pupil's use it as a response to particular poems alongside point-evidence-explanation.

Storyboard for planning out ideas for pupil films. Could be used alongside annotation of the text either individually or as a small group. Pupils can sketch simple ideas / make notes about what kind of images they want to use as well as note the kind of music or effects they might select.
