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. This unit always engages the pupils and is a great end of half term unit as it fully engages the class. I have included every resource you need to teach this unit tomorrow. Also below I have listed all of the learning objectives from the unit of work. Stage 1- Stimulate and generate- Learning outcomes • To learn and read a poem by heart. • To write about an Author’s style. • To perform a dramatic version of a poem. • To write a poem in another author’s style. Stage 2 - Capture, Sift and Sort- Learning outcomes • To find the key features of a poem. • To write sentences with personification. • To write similes. Stage 3 - Create refine evaluate- Learning outcomes • To improve word choices by using thesauruses. • To write a Feel or Taste Collector poem. • To perform poetry. Stimulate and generate = This usually starts with a hook to interest the class where the class realise who they are going to write for so they have a clear purpose and audience. 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. Create, refine, evaluate = This is where you bring all you have learnt together and plan the final piece before you write it and then edit it to improve the piece. This can include self, peer or teacher led reviewing.
