Students love writing limericks and this fun lesson contains a fully adaptable thirty-two slide powerpoint that gives some interesting background to the life of Edward Lear and then provides lots of examples of limericks for students to analyse.
Next students have to guess the missing words in three limericks.
Thirdly students complete the remaining three lines of limericks after being given the first two lines.
By this time they will have mastered the rhyme scheme and the rhythm of the form, so they are then left to complete their own completely original limerick, which they they re-draft and illustrate for display.
A fun lesson for second language learners also.
