Our very own Pauline Kelly will be discussing Junior Cycle poetry and how to best support students in their poetic journey to the Final Examination.

[Fire and Ice Author Team @JCEnglishHelp]

As it was Valentine's Day, they had to write a 3 stanza poem about two unlikely romantic characters and how they first met. Students loved revisiting their fond memories of the books and came up with some great mismatched characters.

[Fire and Ice Author Team @JCEnglishHelp]

Valentine's Day exercise that could be adapted for any class. Students read the poem 'A Crow and a Scarecrow' by Carol Ann Duffy. They were horrified that the crow pecked the scarecrow apart. We linked in with the classics below explaining rhyme is often important in storytelling

Pauline says that 'this will be a confident, upbeat session to counter the gloom of the moment & give a hopeful message!'. That & the fact that Pauline Kelly is presenting are two really good reasons in our book to sign up for this session while spaces are available...enjoy!😊

For some Christmas creative writing inspiration, check out these short stories from BBC Two Minute Tales. Read the winners in the 10-13 and 14-16 age categories from 2020. Lovely to use as models in the #juniorcycle or TY English classroom
