Focus on introduction to poetry, with a poetry device hunt around the classroom or a carousel activity for pupils to revise poetic terminology. Poetic device sheets could also be used as a classroom display once printed. Support sheets included for differentiation. Objective: To identify different poetic devices and explore their effects. Outcomes: To present these devices in table. Literacy objective: An apostrophe must be used to show who or what owns the object or idea (possession). Lesson is an introduction to poetry, unit focus on unseen poetry. I have used this with year 9 in preparation for their GCSE poetry exams. Lesson runs through literacy objective with tasks and a challenge task on apostrophes. It then goes through the exam board specification and what the examiner is looking for, and the different assessment objectives (AO1/AO2) for unseen poetry. Starter: As many poetic devices as the pupils can think of. Challenge task to include a definition and an example. 5 minute timer included. Introduction: What is poetry? Spot the devices within poetry. Using examples from modern songs - Pocahontas/Justin Bieber. Main task: Poetry device hunt. Pupils to fill in A3 sheet (included publisher file and PDF) two minutes for each device. I used my phone as a timer. This kept pace high. Pupils to write definition and effect in their own words. This can take longer depending on the ability of the class/time for each lesson. Assessment: Whiteboard questioning to gauge progress with plenary for pupils to write on a post-it or in their book. These resources took me over 8 hours to prepare! Can be used again and again for GCSE/KS3 classes.
