Writing a Poem based on the Owl and the Pussycat

This resource will help children to write their own rhyming, nonsense poems modelled on the Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear.

There sre 2 basic resources to use:

1. An exemplar of a poem written in the style of The Owl and the Pussycat, called The Dog and the Budgie. It could be displayed on the whiteboard alongside the original or printed out for discussion.

2. A cloze procedure activity to help lower attaining pupils to succeed in the activity.

I have also included a PP of the original poem.
