This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to practise composing and publishing different types of poems that use line structures and vocabulary to illustrate scenes in the Easter story. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
