The pupils absolutely loved this last year so I thought I would share. You can get more into the theme by getting them to wear Elf hats. I am going to try that this year! Can be adapted for higher levels. Please comment. Thank you.

A third and final lesson on the poem by Walter de la Mare. This includes pupils using their imagination to write about the Traveller. Pupils also draw the inside of the house.

Used for an English module on Criminal Minds. Pupils use their imagination to pretend they are a prisoner in Alcatraz at night. They then write a poem based on senses and other feelings. Differentiation is included with sentence starters and word mats for the senses, and for other feelings with pictures. Please comment.
