Poetry Writing Unit- Simile & Question-Answer, Yr 2

About this teaching resource

Dive into the world of poetry with our 6-page PDF resource Poetry Writing Unit - Simile & Question-Answer, Yr 2, for teachers.

Employing the READING LIKE A WRITER approach, students delve into read-alouds, shared reading, and mentor texts to hone their narrative skills. Utilise a variety of mentor texts to help students grasp the genre and compare different versions.

Try our 'good writer' mini lessons:  For example, good writers draw inspiration from the world around them, including animals, objects, and people, to craft poems that convey feelings and images using descriptive language. They utilise various poetic devices like repetition, alliteration, and similes, experiment with vocabulary and language patterns, and play with white space and line breaks for effect. Good writers also borrow from other texts, self-edit rigorously, and make thoughtful presentation choices when sharing their poetry.

Empower students to unleash their creativity and storytelling prowess while honing their writing skills.
