Online Event: The Poetry By Heart 14+ poetry timeline anthology

Every GCSE poem with all kinds of free supporting resources

This event is for everyone who teaches GCSE English. We’ll give you a guided tour of the Poetry By Heart 14+ timeline anthology. This free resource gives you every poem set for examination by the AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas awarding bodies in a timeline format so you can see them over time. There are video and audio recordings of the poems, mini biographies of the poets, notes to help pupils find a way into the poems, and extra resources to help teachers develop their love of poetry and plan lessons.

Dr Julie Blake, FEA, FRSL(Hon), co-directs Poetry By Heart, the national poetry speaking competition for schools. She researches and writes about the history of poetry for children, creates digital and print anthologies of poems for children and young people, teaches poetry pedagogy and has an encyclopaedic knowledge of poetry in the school English curriculum. Poetry by Heart is a national poetry speaking competition for schools and colleges in England. It’s also a website for teaching and learning about poetry – by heart and out loud, and with plenty of choice for young people to explore poems and find the ones they love.

This online event is organised by the English Association and part of the #EnglishCreates Week. Tickets are free but please register your attendance in the eventbrite link below to receive details and link.
