To learn or not to learn?
Memorising poetry has been getting a lot of attention in the press and recital competitions are increasingly popular. If you’re considering this topic with your class or group, our ‘Remember, remember‘ resource sheet can help you get started. It has links to articles discussing why and how we should memorise poems. Plus there are recommendations of where to find suitable poems.

“remember…”
To complement the question of learning by heart – and all sorts of other trains of thought around ‘remembering’ – we’ve got a set of 4 new poem posters with quotations from poems by Jackie Kay, Liz Lochhead, John Burnside and Elizabeth Burns.
Are there other quotations you’d like to see as posters? Do, ah, remember to email and let us know.
