Free verse is an open form of poetry, which in its modern form arose through the French vers libre form. It does not use consistent metre patterns, rhyme, or any musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.
In this lesson, Children learn what free verse poetry is and how poems are structured. They look at example free verse poetry and identify repetition, rhythm, stanzas and how imagery is created. They then have a go writing their own free verse poem as a cold task based on an image using the scaffold provided.
This lesson is the first in a 6 lesson sequence covering two weeks of teaching.
