A ready-to-use lesson plan that shines for National Poetry Day. While it’s tailored for KS3 English students, the content is flexible enough to be easily adjusted for other classes.

This lesson guides students through writing a story called ‘Through the Forest’. The lesson’s goal is to teach students how to create a powerful atmosphere in their writing by using sensory details. Step 1: Choose Your Atmosphere The first step is to choose which of the two provided forest images best represents the student’s story idea. One image shows a sunlit forest, while the other shows a dark, misty one. Students are then asked to choose vocabulary words to describe the atmosphere they want to create, such as sinister, mystical, luminous, or tranquil. Step 2: Write the Opening Paragraph Next, students are instructed to write an opening paragraph that uses the five senses to create a powerful atmosphere for the reader. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to use vivid language to describe both a peaceful forest setting and a threatening, stormy one. Step 3: Complete and Self-Assess Finally, students are to complete their story and then use a checklist to self-assess their work. The checklist helps them evaluate several aspects of their writing.
