WordPowered
WordPowered brings together teachers of English from a
variety of backgrounds by using short stories, poetry and film.
The project offers a place where creative reading and creative
writing can intermingle.
Each part of the project is work in progress and each part requires the active
participation of teachers and their students to help develop a full set of
resources.
There are three parts to the project:
In Words
- short stories and poetry are explored with EFL teachers in mind and where the
emphasis is on using literature as a tool to teach language. Formerly called britlit.
In View
- short films made to accompany spoken poetry are used to explore the potential for
student engagement and response. Formerly known as 'Poetry & Film'.
YouWrite
- teachers are invited to submit their own short stories, longer fiction or poetry for
publication on line to share with fellow teachers of English . Readers have their own
space to comment on what they read.
