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, a table display card to select a type of poetry to use when rewriting the content from a narrative poem and a worksheet for support ability levels to compose a new version of the Pied Piper of Hamelin using a Haiku structure.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compose and perform a new version of the Pied Piper of Hamelin using another style of poetry structure.

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.
