This resource consists of lesson plans, a PowerPoint presentation and 7 activity sheets. The material is enough for a unit on poetry lasting a week. It’s great for Hallowe’en, but is not limited to that. It is aligned to the following National Curriculum standard:
"Prepare poems and plays to read aloud and to perform, showing understanding through intonation, tone and volume so that the meaning is clear to an audience; identifying how language, structure and presentation contribute to meaning; learn a wider range of poetry by heart"
The focus is The Hag by Robert Herrick, and the week’s work provides an introduction to the analysis of structure, syllable count, metre and rhyme. It also features related work on glossaries and apostrophes for omission. It is linked to music and drama and provides paired and group activities through the week to support the learning of the poem by heart. The fifth session is intended to be an extended one in order to give pupils the opportunity to put together a performance of their work.
