Christmas poems
A lovely 'one off' or end of term Christmas lesson for KS3 students.
This lesson resource includes a detailed set of teaching notes, with simple, exemplar Christmas poems to share with students and a word bank of Christmassy words and rhymes to get them started with writing.
Students then work on rhyme and rhythm to create their own Christmas or winter-themed poem.
There are also festive templates for students to cut out, decorate and write their poems on, so you'll have an appealing Christmas-themed classroom display at the end of the lesson as well!
Example teaching ideas from the resource:
