We’ve packed this Pie Corbett poetry lesson plan with playful activities to help your KS2 class celebrate the power of imagination.

The download features Pie’s original poem, ‘What are You?’, as well as accompanying activities that he has created for your class.

Ask students to read through the poem thoroughly, asking themselves questions like which idea:

  • is the most surprising and why?
  • interests you the most and why?
  • is the cleverest/funniest and why?
  • is the hardest?

Pupils can then write a short paragraph illustrating their favourite verse, perform the poem as a class, explore techniques in it that they can use in their own writing and much more.
