This lesson is part of a nature poetry scheme of work for my intervention year 7 group. Very accessible and very scaffolded.

This lesson will help students to write a paragraph about a Romantic poem, Daffodils. They will complete a quiz, then plan and write a paragraph. This is very scaffolded and therefore should be simple for even an intervention class. The students complete a ‘highlight your strength and target’ self-review at the end. All resources included.

This lesson was originally created for my intervention year 7 class, however it would be appropriate for any year 5-6 class as well. This lesson introduces the students to the Industrial Revolution and William Wordsworth, with the aim that students will finish the lesson understanding the intentions behind Romantic Poetry. Students will also be introduced to 'I Wandered Lonely/Daffodils) in order to find positive connotations within the poem, associated with nature.

Very low-level differentiated lesson. Students will recap simple word types (adjective, verb, etc.), and simple language techniques. They will then try to find these techniques in the poem ‘Daffodils’. This is very scaffolded and should be quite straightforward.
