Pioneer have started working towards their second learning target today: ‘I can compose a piece of poetry using specific language choices and structures’
We kicked the lessons off by analysing the language used in WW1 poetry. Extracts from Dulce et Decorum est, The Soldiers, Dreamers and In Flanders Fields were analysed and discussed and the pupils explored how powerful language can create imagery. This was followed by the pupils choosing a line from one of the poems that particularly stood out to them due to the imagery that the language created. Using this quotation, the pupils then illustrated their work by drawing the image that was inspired by the poetry.
Here’s Pioneer working hard!
Here’s Charlotte, Torran, Marcus, Dylan, Ava, Jess, Junia and Bob – look at how focused they are on their work!
