During our writing lessons we follow ‘The Write Stuff’ scheme of work.
This half term we used the narrative poem ‘The Highwayman’ to inspire our writing. First of all we looked at the poem and identified its shapes. We found that the poem had 3 main shapes: stanzas, key events and repeated refrain. We then completed an experience day, where we found out what a highwayman was. After that, completed 10 sentence stacking lessons using our teachers ideas and our own ideas to create our own poems based on ‘The Highwayman’. Finally, we used everything we were taught to write our own narrative poems. We really enjoyed this unit of writing!
