Christmas Poetry Unit - Lesson 1 - Plenary Task Worksheet

The plenary task of this Christmas Poetry Unit's first lesson involves a fun and educational anagram-solving activity. Students are challenged to rearrange the letters of several jumbled phrases to reveal words related to the festive season. Once they have successfully unscrambled the anagrams, they are then asked to provide definitions for each of the words they have discovered. This exercise not only tests their vocabulary and spelling skills but also deepens their understanding of Christmas-related terms that may feature in the poetry they are studying.

The worksheet lists six anagrams, such as 'canine foo spirit', 'mood', 'match sirs', 'Note', 'cheer my shem', and 'Sever', which the students must decipher. After unscrambling, students will find that each anagram corresponds to a Christmas-themed word. They then write these words alongside their definitions, which could include both literal and contextual meanings within the festive season. This task serves as a creative way to wrap up the lesson, engaging students in a playful yet informative activity that enhances their comprehension and retention of Christmas vocabulary.
