This lesson introduces the poem Valentine to the students. It explores the main ideas of love and has a model answer to support the students in their PEE paragraph. This pack also includes a PEE grid, sentence starters, and a lesson plan of the whole lesson.
This lesson introduces the poem through discussion about what makes a good gift. I wrapped up an onion for each table, with two layers of tissue paper, so the students had to guess what the gift was.
The lesson leads to a piece of writing about what the poem suggests about relationships.
This resource has some slides adapted from a lesson found elsewhere.

Set of resources used in the year 4 topic of creating images with poetry, similes and metaphors.
A great idea is for the children to describe a beach using similes and metaphors.
Includes homework ideas, display material and many worksheets around the topic! Enjoy!
Due to the popularity of this resource I have included a Powerpoint I used for a very successful observation lesson by Ofsted.
Also a bank of poems that I developed using Similes and Metaphors in them to create images and a few more resources too including a soothing soundtrack and background to play on your IW on loop.
MAY UPDATE: I have recently added even more poems and simile / metaphor references for this resource!
These resources constitute two lessons on war poetry , aimed at Y8 pupils.
The first lesson uses the poem To Germany (copy provided) and focuses on the Christmas Truce as a way of explaining the author's intention.
The second lesson uses the poem War Girls (copy provided) and focuses on the role of women in the war effort.
Individual activities, group activities, and discussion activities are included throughout the two lessons, and pupils are given the chance to be creative, using the information they have learned about the First World War.
