This enables children to create a nonsense poem in the style of the Mad Hatter from ‘Alice in Wonderland’. Ideal for KS2 and KS3. Easy to follow PPT with methodical steps to help students create a nonsense poem. Low threshold, high ceiling differentiation so all achieve. Could be an extended starter or a whole lesson. Bring your own tea and cake and you could always dress up as the Mad Hatter, if you are that way inclined.

ok for lower KS2; I don't think it would stretch KS3

Thank you for your review and feedback on this free resource designed to provide a little piece of joy for colleagues and students on World Poetry Day.

That's a possibility, I agree! I've used it as a transition lesson. It's meant as a little bit of fun when children can believe poetry has to feel 'worthy'. Warm regards, Alison

Trying to open this on 7th June 2020 and doesn't appear to be working. I have only given one star due to the fact I can't see the content, which may be good!

How strange - there isn’t a reason that I can think of why it shouldn’t open. What a shame since it is a lovely resource in terms of content, presentation and the work students can do as a result. I will have to ask a colleague to see if the same thing happens to them (authors re-downloading their own work isn’t a good control experiment since our computers already feel familial with the work and welcome it back into the fold, so to speak). <br />

Thank you for letting me know. If I find the root of the problem is a general one and not just peculiar to your hardware, I will bob back on here and suggest a solution. I am happy to try emailing the resource to you but that means publicising your email and then you risk being spammed, I suppose, so I’ll let you decide that.
