This resource is a lesson/series of up to 3 lessons suitable. I believe, for years 6, 7 or 8 depending on the themes you focus on.
- Children read and analyse a palindrome poem and understand what the word palindrome means.
- Children are given a template and a guided structured/scaffolded method to come up with their own poems
- Children write up their poems in presentation form.
I have deliberately chosen a topic for the children with statements that they will likely find inflammatory, as this then supports the discussion about these poems being a good vehicle for protest, as they often ridicule insensitive and judgmental statements.
Note:
You will need to use assessment for learning in the lesson, so that you know no children are left with the misunderstanding that any controversial statements made are supported or true.
