Poetry Friendly Classroom with Michael Rosen Tip 7 - create a poetry notebook is a video by BookTrust from the Poetry Friendly Classroom series.
Transcript
Encourage the children to keep a poetry notebook. Suggest that they can write down any words or phrases that strike them as, odd, interesting, difficult, amazing, puzzling, scary. If they have an idea for any interesting ways of saying things, jot them. If they come across a phrase, a verse, a line from anything they've read anywhere could be poetry, the newspaper, a street sign, anything. Jot it down. Write out poems or parts of poems in the notebook too, and to help them, you could make a, public notebook that's up on the wall in the classroom where you can write things that you've noticed.
