Performance Poetry (2 weeks) unit based on The Sound Collector by Roger McGough
This is a short 2 week unit of work that focuses on improving word choices through improving adjectives and culminates in pupils writing then performing their own poem. The poem they are end up writing is based on the Sound Collector by Roger McGough but it requires pupils to think of tastes or how something feels instead of sound.

Activities can include reading excellent model texts, drama or researching more about the author or the content of the book.
Capture, sift and sort = This is the part of the unit where pupils look at key features, practise skills they will need in order to complete the final piece or new learning for objectives they have not learnt yet.
