Subject Topic Talking Textiles Lesson Title Poetry as inspiration for textiles Learning Outcome Children will collect visual and other information to help them develop their ideas.
Pupils can interpret their ideas in their sketchbooks using a storyboard or comic strip idea.
Talk about ways in which the events of the story can be shown using textile. If possible show examples of cloth story books for babies, cushions, banners, panels. Think about textures, sounds or effects that can be created to add interest or provide information. Let children explore the sounds made by different materials and help them to think about how they could incorporate these into a textile picture. Allow children to re-read the poem, and to make representations of events of the story, producing images they think would be suitable for making into a textile.
