Lesson 2 – Rocket Shape poems

Can you look up and read some shape poems with an adult? If you didn’t know the title of the poem, would you be able to guess by looking at the shape the poem has been written in?

Which is your favourite?

Create your own version of David Horner’s  ‘Rocket poem’ using a different title. Write a different word in each compartment. You could choose ‘Sweets rocket’ or a ‘Food and Drink’ or ‘Animals Rocket’. Try to find a good word to write in the smoke and flames coming from the rockets rockets! Decorate your rocket to fit its title.

Week 4 - Shape Poetry - Lesson 1 (27.4.20) The Shape I'm In

• 'The Shape I'm In' poem.jpg

Read the poem ‘The Shape I’m In’.

What do you notice about the way it is written and the shapes of the words?

Plan a performance of the poem (You can ask members of your family to help and read lines with you.) Which lines will you say altogether? Which lines will be spoken individually? How will you emphasise words? Add actions to your poem if you can and perform it to someone or ask someone to video you.

Choose 4 words from the poem to copy thinking about the shape of the words. Can you think of your own word to make into a picture or shape word?
