Lesson details
Key learning points
- A kenning poem is a poem constructed using a series of kennings to describe a person, object, or concept.
- Each line of the poem starts on a new line and with a capital letter.
- After forming a capital letter, you need to lift your pencil to start the next part of the word.
- Each letter string contains different letter joins depending on which letters are in the word.
- You don't lift your pencil when forming the joins.
Common misconception
When copying a poem, children can forget where the new line is or where a capital letter is needed.
Model to the children that you must take time to review the poem first before copying it. Where are the new lines? Where are the capital letters? Is there any punctuation needed? This will help to prepare them for copying.
