Friday 22nd January – Lesson 5 – WALT publish 

Edit and improve your draft poem from yesterday. Then complete a ‘best’ version, publishing onto the template provided (saved on Teams). You could use this as an opportunity to either improve your typing skills or – if you have access to a printer – improve your handwriting. 

Can you perform your poem to an ‘audience’ at home? Think about how to read aloud the sound words. Maybe include props to help you out.
