Creative Writing: Experimental poetic forms

I enjoy teaching this lesson in and around poetry units of work. Essentially, it demonstrates three different approaches to creating poetry, culminating in the students creating their own Shakespearean Sonnets (you'll struggle to get this done in a single lesson - I designed this for a double period).

You'll need the following to complete this lesson:
2 different coloured paper types
Glue
Scissors
The students to have prior knowledge of the Shakespearean Sonnet Form

Enjoy.
