When you listen what do you hear? When you touch what do you feel? The Discovering Poetry Project combines audio/visual presentations and printed worksheets to encourage children to write poems about their own experiences of everyday life. This site provides a resource for teachers to help children write their own poetry. Download free worksheets for use in class and see the poetry resources available for teachers.
