Canadian Poet a Day

A good way to help Canadian students develop a love and passion for Canadian writers and their works is to begin each class with a poetry reading. Also, delving into the family history of the writers, the places that inspired their poetry and the period in which their work is set will help students get to the heart of Canadian poetry and identity.

This guide celebrates the work of six prominent Canadian poets through NFB films and lesson plans.

Share the works of Earle Birney, P.K. Page, Leonard Cohen, Margaret Atwood, Alden Nowlan and Irving Layton with your students by watching NFB films that give insight into their lives and work of our renowned poets.

Over its 70 years, the NFB has made many films that portray Canadian writers and designed several lesson plans to accompany these films in the classroom. You will find more information about these educational films on our website: <NFB.ca> or by calling the toll-free customer service line at: 1-800-267-7710.
