Using ICT to teach poetry
| Module 8 | Contents |

This is one of four sections containing useful web links for you to explore. The links here are dedicated to poetry and form a sound basis for on-going research, or for sifting for good ideas and resources. Many of the sites provide excellent biographical and background information.
There are a lot of resources in these sections! Can you share out the research amongst your departmental colleagues? Don't forget the suggestions in the Task at the end.

Task 19
Again you need to sift through these resources and decide which ones are best suited to your needs
If your students have access to the Internet you could easily set a research task based on your own knowledge of the sites. You would have to view the sites yourself and then ask pertinent questions for the students to respond to in their search.
