FA Writing challenges
Objective To write an inspirational poem to motivate players in the FA Cup
Success criteria: I can write a motivational poem for a team competing in the FA Cup or similar, using:■ appropriate tone■ rousing and encouraging vocabulary■ poetic devices, e.g. alliteration, simile, metaphor
Resources ■ Whiteboard■ Resource 1: inspirational quotes (to be displayed around the room before the students enter)■ Resource 2: ideas board■ Resource 3: motivational phrases■ Motivating messages’ video – please note this was created for FA Writing Challenges for the
SSE Women’s FA Cup Final 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diEEm8fj5j4&t=3s
Supporting resources from National Literacy Trust website
■ KS2 and KS3 Picture the Poet resources supporting the teaching of creative poetry ■ Great poetry through time: Chaucer to 21st Century Poets. A five week unit of work using
drama and performance to increase comprehension and to help unlock the multiple meanings of poetry for students in Key Stage 3
■ Toolkit from a poetry slam competition (Network members only) ■ PowerPoints for secondary schools on vocabulary, grammar and reading in subject areas
which are designed for literacy leaders to use in a whole-school staff meeting or INSET but are just as valuable for individual teachers to read themselves. http://www.literacytrust.org.uk/our_network/network_themes/previous_topic_resources_for_literacy_leaders.
■ Use our Craze of the Month feature for more ideas on using pupil’s interests as hooks to teach literacy
