Notes for teachers or adults

These instructions in PDF format for teachers can be found here.

We suggest this project is done by students between the age of 11 and 15. This is an individual project and can be done at home or by individuals in a classroom situation.

You will need access to a word processing package.

Think of a poem or the lyrics of a song which mean something to you.

In less than 500 words, try to explain why you chose this piece, what it means to you and whether you think the writer had the same thoughts as you. It is not unusual for people to interpret a poem or a song in different ways. Sometimes you can hear a song you liked years ago and now notice something in the words you never saw before.

If you are doing this project on your own at home, you can email a copy of the finished project to us and it may find its way on to our site. Send it to homeprojectsi@owlbut.co.uk That would be owlingly brilliant. Off you go.

We are asking schools to set up a special part of their school website called Owlbut's World of Learning and all work done by pupils should be uploaded there. Each project, if you decide to do more than one, should have a separate section. Send the link to olderowlettesprojects@owlbut.co.uk.

We will start uploading projects sent to us and links from schools in September 2025. The projects and links will be accessed from this page.

Here are some examples done by a secondary school in Western Australia with whom I worked.
