Sonnets - Year 5 and 6 - teaching resource

Sonnets - Year 5 / Year 6 Poetry 

This differentiated Year 5/6 teaching resource teaches children about sonnets in a fun and engaging way. First of all, it provides an example Shakespearian sonnet and explains the 'rules' of sonnet poetry. Children are then tasked with exploring an example sonnet and discussing its structure and language.

The second part of the lesson helps learners construct their own sonnet. Children are given a scaffolded approach and an example sonnet to help them construct a class and an individual poem.

The resource is editable and differentiated using 'Gold', 'Silver' and 'Bronze' activities to assure that all children are challenged and can achieve.
