Create poetry on any subject using this engaging dice activity. Why not kick your next topic or writing project off with a some poetry? This works well as a stand alone activity or as part of a writing unit, to develop adventurous language.
Assessment focus:
I can use figurative language and word play
I can assess another writer’s work (peer assessment)
I can draft, edit and publish my own free verse
Follow the steps of this fun two part lesson (approximately 2 hours needed) and pupils will be able to create poetry on any subject. Simply give pupils a picture they can write on, and let the activity do the rest.
What’s included?
A detailed explanation of the activity, with real classroom examples
Resources to try the activity with an image of a Viking archer (but you could replace the image with anything you like - the activity will work just as well!)
Differentiated activity sheets, with many examples of short lines, verbs, prepositions, personification, alliteration, metaphor and simile
Peer assessment prompt sheet
I use this approach a lot, often with great success. Give it a try!
