Acrostic Poetry - Year 5 and Year 6

Acrostic Poetry - Year 5/6 

This engaging lesson teaches UKS2 children about acrostic poetry. First, it provides three examples of acrostics and explains what the 'rules' of acrostics are. It then provides a task that requires children to explore the examples and discuss the poems regarding layout, language and poetic devices. The second half of the lesson explains how to write an acrostic. Learners are given a scaffolded approach and another example to help them construct a class and then individual acrostics.

The resource is differentiated using 'Gold', 'Silver' and 'Bronze' activities to help all children achieve.
