Description
Included in the zip folder: detailed lesson plan, presentation, four fantastic personification generators (spooky woods, old buildings – inside and outside, creepy caves and majestic mountains). You will need 1-6 dice to use the personification generators. Try them – the combinations really work!
Everything is Word/PowerPoint so you can edit and adapt as you wish.
This is a carefully planned, fully resourced and differentiated lesson about personification aimed at upper key stage 2 writers.
I used this session to create poetry with personification, but it would work equally well with descriptive writing or story settings.
The lesson is structured as follows:
- Warm up
- What is figurative language?
- What is personification?
- Can you personify your noun using one of the prompts on the screen?
- Shared writing
- 2 differentiated dice-based personification generator activities – children use these to create stunning examples of personification about spooky woods (one verse) or spooky buildings (two verse: inside/outside writing) – try it!
- Peer assessment
- There are two additional personification generators if your class are keen to do more (cave and mountains).
Fully road tested – in one session the whole class had written superb personification poems (example included on the ‘woods generator’), and they really enjoyed the spooky theme. I hope your class have the same success.
