Lesson details
Key learning points
- A poem about home should clearly express your story, including your attitude towards the place you live.
- Zooming and metaphorical language can be used, so a reader can imagine your home.
- Deciding upon the structure of the poem and how you could express your content is important to consider.
- Juxtaposition can be used in poems to express a contrast between two places.
- Punctuation can be used to add pace or rhythm to a poem and reflect different feelings.
Common misconception
A poem has to follow a similar rhythm the whole way through.
By creating two different rhythms, we can juxtapose two places.
