Tanka Poetry - Year 3 and 4 - teaching resource

Tanka – Year 3 / Year 4

This Lower KS2 resource helps introduce Year 3 and 4 pupils to the features of tanka poetry. The lesson begins with an example tanka and a clear explanation of its structure. Pupils then work collaboratively to compose a class tanka poem using guided support.

To build confidence in writing independently, the resource includes three differentiated worksheets (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) that cater to varying ability levels, ensuring all learners are supported in creating their own tanka poems.
