Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to identify and describe how poets use figurative language to describe people, places and events in a narrative poem and differentiated sets of cards to select and matching roots with vowel suffixes to build words that can be used to describe a character in a narrative poem.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to match different roots and vowel suffixes to build a range of words that can be used to describe a poetry character.

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.
