Help your class bring words to life in our winter words workshop.

Join Shereen Cutkelvin and poet Alex Wharton for a poetry Live Lesson where we’ll create a winter word bank and gather ideas to add our own lines to a Live Lessons winter poem.

Michael Rosen will be on hand to discuss different types of poetry and give your class tips on how to bring our poem to life. By the end of the Live Lesson, we’ll have explored how to develop a poem and bring it to life through performance - perfect inspiration for an end of term poetry performance.
