Section outline

  • This poetry and creative writing unit is intended for Year 7 students. It is inspired by the work of CLiPPA winning performance poet, Karl Nova. After exploring some of Nova's poems, students are given a choice of creative writing tasks, including writing their own hip-hop style poetry and writing about the poet himself. All of the hip-hop references and extracts in this unit are appropriate for Year 7 students. 

    This unit could also be used by younger students and would be accessible to younger siblings from around Year 4-5 upwards, providing an opportunity for siblings to work together on a shared task.
