Year 6 Explore Monologue Poetry

Year 6 have been studying ‘The Outing’, a poem written by Michael Rosen in the style of a monologue. They have been exploring how a monologue can tell a story from one person’s perspective, using voice, expression and detail to bring the poem to life.

Inspired by Michael Rosen’s work, the children brainstormed their own situations that could lend themselves to a monologue poem. They then used their ideas to write their own original versions, carefully considering vocabulary, structure and the character’s voice.

The children are now looking forward to performing their poems to each other. We can’t wait to hear their creative ideas and see how they use expression and performance skills to bring their monologues to life!
