View all products in this series

The Text Types series is designed to help students understand and appreciate the idea that texts differ from one another in terms of their purpose, structural features, language features and the medium in which they appear.

The series introduces students to a range of text types and in this way enables them to become confident in identifying a text as a particular type and qualifies them to form expectations about its content, form and objectives. The series also functions to help students begin to write different types of text confidently and incorporate the different features of each text type accurately.

This series is highly recommended for any teacher teaching English in upper or lower secondary school.

Imaginative Poetry

The second book in the series introduces students to the poetry text type. It exposes students to a number of delightful and beautifully illustrated poems written by the author and by popular children's poets, so that they are able to recognise that poems do not all look alike.

Cleverly designed activities, which are outcome linked, motivate students to identify and respond to a number of poetic forms and inspire them to create their own poems using a range of poetic techniques. The solutions for the activities are provided at the back of the book.
