Reading: The Boy Who Grew Dragons Chapter 13
LO: To write a poem using the past and present progressive verb forms.
- Watch the teaching video.
Design and produce a shape ‘action’ poem using either past or present progressive form verbs.
- Children design and produce a shape ‘action’ poem using either past or present progressive form verbs.
- Children should come up with a setting for their poem (anything from their bedroom to the garden to school or a jungle). They then need to decide what they are doing or were doing. This is the context for their poem.
- Children then write a series of sentences that describe the action in their poem either in the present progressive form, or in the past progressive form.
- Remind children that they will need to use am/is/are with the verb for present progressive form; and they will need to use was/were with the verb for the past progressive form.
Children decide on the layout of their poem, considering how this is reflective of the subject. For example, it might reflect the actions or the setting.
