Year 5 or 6 Personification Poetry

(0)
<p>A four session writing opportunity, exploring the structure and language of poems.</p> <p>I’ve taught this with Y3 - Y11 with great results. No matter the age, the pupils always enjoy the humour and the practicality of handling actual objects.</p> <p>This version has National Curriculum objectives for Years 5 and 6. It’s good for short burst writing, to boost the writing portfolio of Year 6 before moderation, teaching editing skills, developing planning skills, leading onto performing poetry (one of the NC objectives).</p> <p>Most resources embedded into the PowerPoint. It includes an example poem written by yours truly. The guidance, on how to teach it, are in the notes section of each slide.</p> <p>Have fun!</p> <p>Edit: found two typos in the 4th session materials. Re-uploaded with corrections.</p>
