LESSON OUTLINE
Introductions/episodes/transitions/consolidation/recap

Register.  Change seating plan.

Whole class:  Follow on from last lesson's work on the idea 'Show me, don't tell me'.  Students are going to produce their first finished poem, which will be between five and ten lines in length. 

Individually: Start by choosing one of the subjects I put on the board, and then writing what it is/does/feels like, just like the colour poems from last week - can finish that one if they want.  Don't worry too much about redrafting at this stage, the object is to just do it.  Students then need to copy it into neat form, decorating the page if they want.  These are to be handed in, but will not be given a level.

Whole class:  If anyone wants to read out their whole poem they can, but they need to stand up.

FURTHER ACTION: Homework set; work incomplete; pupils needing support; alterations to forward plans
