What's With Poetry?, Ch 5: Visual language

SUBJECTS:  English

YEARS:  5–6, 7–8, 9–10


When someone is telling you a story, do you visualise that story? You're not alone!

A good storyteller or a poet knows exactly how to use certain words so the listener will visualise the story or poem in the way the storyteller or poet intends.

A few well chosen and crafted words can allow readers to visualise a whole world.

Let Matt from the Sydney Story Factory explain how visual language works in this video.
