Below is an article we wrote about teaching poetry themed on the students' favourite colour. It was published in the HK and South China PYP Network Newsletter. The article describes a series of lessons taught with a Grade 3 and 2 class together with students working in 'buddy' writing partnerships, and includes samples of the finished work. The article also contains an outline of a Gradual Release style model of teaching that could be applied to any poetry unit in any grade/year level.
