List Poetry - My Magic Purse

This clear, concise and colourful presentation leads the learners step by step through the composition of a list poem based on a ‘magic purse’ theme.
There is a grammar element throughout with an emphasis on nouns, adjectives and ‘ing’ verbs.
I find that a poetic context is an effective way to embed incidental grammar teaching in class.
Although the outcome is a simple list poem, it can easily be differentiated for older learners. This would involve extending each line using e.g. adverbs or an additional clause.
I have included the extension task for older learners on the latter part of the presentation .
I have also provided pro formas for the children to use for their initial draft before they revise, edit and improve.
