Reading, responding to and performing 'In the Heart of a Book'

English

In this unit, pupils read and respond to a range of poems that explore personal experiences: feelings and relationships. In 'Poetry of Place', pupils build on these experiences, reading and analysing classic and contemporary poetry that evokes a strong sense of place, before writing their own.

In 'Poetry inspired by weather’, pupils wrote their own poems based on the theme of weather, exploring a range of forms and poetic devices.  In ’Poetry about personal experiences’, pupils build on these experiences, writing poems linked to their own feelings, relationships and experiences.
