The Kite<br />
To write a shape poem you need to include information about a topic through the<br />
words you choose. Practise by writing a shape poem about a fruit or vegetable.<br />
Choose words that describe the characteristics of the fruit, and how it presents<br />
itself to the senses. Practise below by finding words to describe the foods listed.<br />
Draw the outline of your chosen fruit or vegetable in the box below, using a pencil.<br />
Write some lines to describe this food and arrange them in order to make sense. Try<br />
to include some rhyme. Now fit your lines to the outline you have drawn. The words<br />
can run over into the next line. Refer back to the poem The Kite and see how the full<br />
stops show the end of each line. Write your completed poem in your outline. Arrange<br />
your words to create the correct shape and rub out your pencil line.<br />
