Making Poetry Matter draws together contributions from leading scholars in the field to offer a variety of perspectives on poetry pedagogy. A wide range of topics are covered including: Teacher attitudes to teaching poetry in the urban primary classroom, Digital poetry and multimodality, Resistance to poetry in Post-16 English. The internationally recognised contributors draw on data collected through a variety of research methods, including case studies, to ensure that theory on poetry pedagogy is clearly linked to practice. They consider teaching and learning poetry in classrooms across the 5-19 age range from different perspectives, looking at reading; writing; speaking and listening and transformative poetry cultures.
