This one-off poetry lesson for KS2 uses a poem called ‘The Spell.’ A PowerPoint presentation leads the children through the poem - analysing each verse through a series of carefully staged inference and deduction questions. The contents of the spell referred to in the poem is never revealed - but the children will form their own ideas as they analyse the poem in more detail. They are encouraged to justify their ideas by referring back to the poem. After gaining a deeper understanding of the poem, the children are given the task of writing what they believe the spell was. Word banks and lists of synonyms are provided to help include the correct kind of language in their work. This lesson is perfect for small group and paired work - where the children can perform or chant their spells back to the class. Turn the lights off and light a candle for added atmosphere! If you’re feeling adventurous - provide a variety of percussion instruments so the children can add sound effects while they read out loud!
