Ekphrastic Poetry 1 - intro lesson and 'starry night' lessons

This unit of poetry is created for KS3 - year 7… but could work for any year group.
Students will regularly review and develop their knowledge of poetry techniques (being able to identify, and use) and use infamous art works as inspiration for their own writing .
For the ‘Starry Night’ lessons, students will listen to the song, and read/analyse Anne Sexton’s poem; before planning, and writing, their own piece.
I have found this unit to work particularly well with low language learners but equally would engage more confident language students.
These lessons are part of a bigger unit with the assessment being:

ASSESSMENT TASK: 
Based on the piece of art that you have selected: 
ANSWER ONE OF THE FOLLOWING
EITHER:   
Write a narrative or piece of descriptive writing about your chosen piece of art 
OR  
Write an ekphrastic poem using your chosen piece of art as inspiration
