Worksheet

Using lines from well-known poems as inspiration, students build a story which begins and ends in the same place. Excellent for thinking about whole-text structure, but giving students lots of freedom with the genre, style and tone of their writing. 

The resource includes lines from nine poems as a starting point. The activities get students to:

  • rate the lines as if they are story openings
  • choose three and plan story ideas for these
  • look at a cyclical narrative structure
  • plan a narrative piece using a writing frame.
