Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to identify and describe the structure and format of a narrative poem by a significant author and differentiated worksheets to change lines in a narrative poem by using modal verbs to express the possibility or certainty of things happening.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use modal verbs to add extra lines to a poem expressing the possibility or certainty of things happening in the narrative.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to investigate the language style and structure of a narrative poem to retell the story using prose and other poetry styles, practise adding prefixes to roots using hyphens and use modal verbs to change poetry lines. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
