A Complete ENGLISH/ART lesson, which includes a detailed PowerPoint and all resources, including example poems. UPDATED for 2023
The lesson is designed to help you get to know your class, whilst creating a fantastic display for the wall (ideal for the start of the year) Children consider their Values, beliefs, Strengths, skills and hobbies- before creating an autobiographical poem in the shape of a fingerprint.
This lesson is also perfect for an end of year activity, and the poem can then be kept as a keepsake by the pupil.
Ideal for KS1/2 or 3 as the art activity is easily differentiated.
