How to access and play the poems.

 How to access and play the poems.

Select the play button to listen to an audio poem as a class using speakers. (Pause and repeat options are also available.) Links can be copied and pasted into documents/presentations/student resources/learning platforms. If you want to search for a poem, you can access the entire collection on SoundCloud and type the title or poet in the search bar.

Focusing on voice/sound only is a powerful learning tool which gives students an opportunity to hear poets’ words spoken and a chance to appreciate rhythm, stress, cadence and intonation. Recorded sound files can of course be heard again and again when studying a poem. It is hugely satisfying therefore that this educational project has become a user-friendly resource for teachers and learners.
