Prose Poetry
Stage 5
Term Long (8 weeks)
So what actually is prose poetry? Well, it’s a playful, hybrid and flexible form of short writing that gives developing writers rich opportunities to learn about and experiment with an abundant range of language features as they produce fun, achievable and dense texts. Students will each create their own anthology of different types of prose poems (postcard, factoid, surreal or straight narrative) inspired by mentor texts both from Australia and across time and place.
