Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to explain why and how poets use words in poems to evoke ideas and feelings about a journey by plane and a table display card to rehearse reading poems about types of transport ready for a performance to the class.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to practise reading poems about different forms of transport using a range of voice styles and actions.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to read and respond to poems about different ways to travel using a range of transportation vehicles, investigate syllables heard in different words and identify words that require capital letters. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
