The Poetry Pack
Help your children to read and write poetry with this pack of teaching, activity and display resources!
This idea involves the creation of a poem entitled "A menu to make your teacher angry."
First, let the class explore the phrases used in menu writing, e.g. on a bed of, in a sauce of, sprinked with etc.
Then get them to list all the things that make a teacher angry (they love this and the list seems to be endless!).
Now show them how to substitute the food for an item from the 'angry' list, e.g. A plate of ink spodges served on a bed of spelling mistakes, topped with crispy calling out.
The poem can have three verses - starters, main course and dessert.
Ed Harding has tried this as a lesson warm-up for monster poetry and it worked really well. A first verse was made up for the children to follow:
To make our teacher angry,
Is considered to be bad,
So follow this tasty menu,
To send them raving mad!
They really enjoyed sharing ways to send the teacher potty!
