Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to identify and make corrections and improvements to poems about different wild animals that could be kept as pets by a family before producing a final copy for inclusion in a class book.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to check and improve the structure and vocabulary used in poems about different wild animals that could be kept as pets.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to write and edit poems about different animals using patterned language, practise spelling words with the /s/ sound spelt c and write expanded noun phrases to describe and specify people, places and things related to wild animals to use when composing lines for a poem. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
