Poetry Shuffle – Teachit's KS3 Poetry Pack

If you've ordered a site licence for your pack, you'll be able to network your Poetry Shuffle so that every teacher in the department (and their classes) have access to it.

With a site licence, you can also access our online updates for the Poetry Shuffle. These additional materials include teaching ideas and interactive tasks for additional poems plus some 'routes through' the pack.

Tell us what you think! Or better still, send us your own playlist!

We're always looking for ways to improve Poetry Shuffle, and would love to hear any thoughts or suggestions you have. Lessons which have worked well, favourite poems, most interesting results ... all very welcome. We'll send book tokens in return for the best comments. Alternatively, if you've taught a group of poems from the pack, and created, in effect, your very own playlist, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch.  We like to talk!  Call, on 01225 788850, and ask for Katie, if you'd prefer to chat on the phone.
