**Winter Poetry Unit
**
This is a short, 6 lesson scheme of work focusing on a selection of winter-themed poetry suitable for Year 7/8. All lessons are fully resourced on the Powerpoints, just print off the slides you need. Originally intended for split groups who only saw one of their teachers either once a week or once a fortnight, so the lessons are linked but quite independent of each other and also work as one-offs. Together, they focus on developing students analytical skills with an emphasis on developing interpretations of a text.

The unit was designed to be delivered to mixed ability groups, so differentiation is largely built in, with challenge tasks indicated in red and marked with a star.

There is an introductory lesson on exploring the idea of winter as a theme/motif through a series of unseen extracts and then this leads into a short anthology of poetry. Poets covered include:

  • Haiku by Basho and Issa
  • William Carlos Williams
  • Norman MacCaig
  • Ted Hughes
  • Robert Frost

Thanks for your interest.
