- Personal responses are a way of sharing your own thoughts, feelings, and opinions about the text.
- Actions and sound effects help to add to a poem's meaning.
- Expression and volume help to hold an audience's attention.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to give a reason for their opinion.
Model lots of examples using 'because' to expand upon their choice. Call on confident pupils to share their reasons for their opinions and give lots of praise for using 'because' in a sentence.
