Poetry Day 2009 - Heroes and Heroines
National
Poetry Day is Thursday October 8th 2009
During National Poetry Day, people all over the UK take part in a celebration of great poetry.
The Scottish Poetry Library runs a series of CPD sessions for teachers on how to make the most of National Poetry Day. And we produce a range of postcards featuring poems from Scottish poets on the theme of the year, which we send out to schools across Scotland. You will find teaching suggestions to accompany some of the poems on this site.
This
year's theme will be Heroes and Heroines. You'll have to wait until nearer the time for the postcards, and teaching suggestions, but there's nothing to stop you using 2008's poems on the theme of 'work' or other poems from previous years in the meantime. What are you doing for National Poetry Day?
