An extract from the resource:
Read the extract from The Firework-Maker’s Daughter by Philip Pullman on PPT slides 32-34). Then provide each child with a copy of the extract (Chinese New Year resource 1) and ask them to reread it, underlining all the different ingredients for fireworks. Take feedback and compile a list on the board.
Ask: What makes these ingredients sound exciting? Draw out that the author has paired ordinary words such as powder and grains with attention-grabbing words such as thunder, fly-away and scorpion.
In groups, ask children to plan their firework recipe poem using the scaffold in Chinese New Year resource 2: Firework recipe. First, they must create a list of exciting ingredients, then some powerful imperative verbs. Then children use these as an idea bank to write a recipe poem for an explosive new firework! What will be the name of their firework?
