English

Make up some noun-phrases about a favourite place.
Think of a place that you love to be. It can be indoors or outdoors.  Write it in the middle of a sheet of paper. Try to think of six or more things that this place is for you. Why is it special? Look at the example below of a bedroom if you need ideas. 

Watch the following video on playing with words, this will help you when you come to write your own poem. Playing with words 

Developing a Poem 

1. Read all of your special place ideas. 
2. Look for ways to improve your expanded noun phrases (think poetry techniques: alliteration, onomatopoeia, powerful adjectives, verbs and adverbs). 
3. Look for words that are not working hard enough – replace, remove or combine. 
4. Choose the best 5-6 images and number them – think about impact: keep a surprise for the last stanza. 
5. Write your poem using the structure of Golden Time (Tuesday's English work) 

Once you have written your poem, practice performing it using the skills that you have learnt this week. 




Write each of your images as a descriptive expanded noun phrase.
