Resource Collection Effective Writing
During Key Stage 2, pupils should read and write a variety of styles of poetry. This resource focuses on acrostic poems, using abstract nouns which show feelings and emotions to create the themes for writing. There are opportunities to teach or revisit abstract nouns before pupils write their own poems. The use of emotive language in KS2 could also be explored, investigating how this can be used to describe the emotions in the acrostic poems.
Pupils can discuss feelings and emotions, and how it is normal to feel a range of these, covering aspects of primary statutory guidance for Health Education.
An acrostic poem is a poem where the first letter of each line spells out a word or phrase, which is typically the subject of the poem.
Usually those letters would be bigger or bolder or coloured in some way so you can easily see the word and spot that it is an acrostic poem.
Abstract nouns name things that cannot be observed using the five senses. Abstract nouns are ideas, feelings or a state of being such as beauty or suffering.
