Inspired by something I found in one of my adult learners books.
Feel free to change the number of lines/ add rhymes. Will ask my pupils for presentation ideas -a picture story , a 'serenade&', love letter style... we&';ll see what they come up with.
Powerpoint to get pupils creating their own 'poems' for Valentine's day. They use dictionaries to make verses of their own, thinking of things that belong together. In response to a recent comment, this resource is is aimed at a mixed-ability Year 7 class. From previous experience I know that many pupils find it very difficult to find the correct gender as well as the word.I have therefore used a little 'poetic licence' for which I apologize!
