Two complete introductory poetry lessons: Counting Syllables and Getting the Rhythm, each with an illustrated worksheet and teachers’ notes. The 10-page sample PDF also contains the full pack’s introduction, contents and general guidance, plus teachers’ notes for Making Changes; its worksheet is not included.

Students count syllables, practise writing a short poem, identify stressed and unstressed syllables, and explore how stress patterns create rhythm. Suitable for Key Stages 3 and 4.

The full 66-page pack contains 30 worksheet lessons with teachers’ notes, developing reading, analysis and creative writing through metre, line length, rhyme schemes and poetic forms.

The preview images show representative pages from the full pack and include pages beyond this free sample.
