Activities in this teaching pack include shared reading texts to identify and describe how poets use figurative language to describe people, places and events in a narrative poem and a template to help compose a new ending for a narrative poem illustrating an alternative sequence of events.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compose a new verse for a narrative poem illustrating an alternative ending scene for the characters.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to explore and adapt vocabulary used in a narrative poem to describe characters and settings. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
