Ekphrastic Poetry 4 - Group task and Assessment

This unit of poetry is created for KS3 - year 7… but could work for any year group.

This is the final collection of lessons of the unit. Students have regularly reviewed and developed their knowledge of poetry techniques (being able to identify, and use) and use infamous art works as inspiration for their own writing .
Students have so far enjoyed ‘Starry Night’, ‘Weeping Woman’, and ‘Fall of Icarus’ and this lesson will work as a group to develop poetic skills.
Students will then choose an art work (or can use anything from previousl essons) for the ASSESSMENT TASK.
Students will complete 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
