Resplendent, abode, precipice, despairing and narrer are all lovely words that aren't common in an 11 year old's vocabulary but will feature in our poem next week.
I thought to get them interested in the words, I'd play a little game as a starter. I'm writing the same word on three cards, then on the back writing the real meaning on one card and false meanings on the other two and as a group, they decide what is the real meaning.
You could also play the game after the poem is read to see of they can work it out by context.
Simples! Xx
