Teaching Poetic Writing with Pie Corbett

In this episode, Pie returns to the podcast to chat with Toria about poetic writing and how to teach this effectively. Pie is an excellent poet – but he is also an excellent teacher of poetry - reading it and writing it.

Pie is a fount of imaginative teaching ideas that work to help children express themselves in poetry and/or prose and shows teachers how to create the bridge between the two. He created the Talk for Writing approach to learning, which is widely used in UK primary schools.

During the episode Pie shares his approaches to teaching poetic writing, how he uses poetry models (which can be found in his book Catalysts) as starting points and even creates some poems with Toria.
