Using two songs from The Muppet Christmas Carol, you can analyse the change in Scrooge from before and after his visits from the ghosts. Firstly watching and exploring the song ‘Scrooge’ you can ask the children to highlight and analyse lyrics that stand out to them. Secondly you will then use the song ‘Thankful Heart’ and do the same. This can be displayed in a jotter or on a poster with a visualisation of Scrooge looking grim and miserable on one side and enlightened on the other. For an example of the jotter layout, check instagram for a reel showing more.

Blackout Poetry for Remembrance of the Poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McCrae Poem has been repeated multiple times within the document so there is plenty of options to select words that stand out to you. Advice taking from Twinkl on how to complete a blackout poem: Scan the page for a word that stands out to you and has significance or meaning to you. Now reread the whole page and look out for any words that could link with the first word you chose. Lightly circle with pencil any words that stand out to you. Try to avoid circling more than three words in a row. List all of the words that you have circled on a separate piece of paper. Write them in the order that they appear on the book page. Read through all of the words that you have selected and choose the final words that you would like to use in your poem. Black out any unwanted words with a black pen. Add any illustrations or pictures you would like to go with your poem. Again, use a black pen.
