There are 4 project areas: 'the elements,' 'the human body,' 'the odyssey,' and 'changing voices.' In each project, the visitor can listen to selected poets, watch visual stimuli aimed at firing 'children's imaginations' and also get ideas and activities to 'encourage creative writing.' There are links to other sites, bios of the poets featured, writing tips, and of course, a teacher's curriculum. Students, don't be put off by the idea that this resource is geared to teachers.
