50 daily poetry writing prompts for Year 5 students, fully aligned to the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0 (AC V9.0) English — drawing on the Literature, Language and Literacy strands.
Each prompt page includes:

· An engaging prompt to write a poem
· A practical writing tip
· Name and date fields, and a full page of ruled lines
Year 5 poetry develops figurative language and the craft of the image. Students build vivid imagery with expanded noun groups, and use the major figurative devices — simile, metaphor and personification — as well as sound devices. They work in stanzas and set forms, shape mood, tone and theme, and explore visual and experimental poems before publishing and performing. Every prompt names the skill it targets, so it is ready for explicit teaching. Designed for one prompt a day across a ten-week term, the prompts move from imagery and the craft of the image, through simile, metaphor and personification, to form, theme and performance, giving you a complete, curriculum-aligned term of poetry with no preparation required. Australian spelling and contexts throughout.
Skills covered across the term: the poet's craft and imagery, similes, metaphors, personification, sound devices, form and structure, mood, tone and theme, visual and experimental poetry, and publishing and performing.
Also included:
· A curriculum-link page with the exact AC V9.0 content descriptor codes
· The year-level achievement standard, plus a plain-English explanation
· An explanation of how the prompts connect to the curriculum
Format: PDF — instant digital download.
Licence: Single classroom use.
