Two Lessons - Writing a Michael Rosen Poem (Year 8)

These two lessons are part of a poetry unit. The objective is to analyse Michael Rosen’s Strict poem and use this as an exemplar to write another poem which uses hyperbole effectively. This is meant to be a fun but purposeful way to introduce the class to poetry. Here is an overview of the two lessons:

1. Read Strict, analyse the poem and plan the new poem in groups.
2. Write the new poem and perform in front of the class.
