50 daily poetry writing prompts for Year 6 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:
· A named craft focus — a specific poetry skill from the AC V9.0 Year 6 curriculum
· An engaging prompt to write a poem
· A practical writing tip
· Name and date fields, and a full page of ruled lines
Year 6 poetry is the most sophisticated primary poetry. Students explain and use the way poets use sound and imagery to create meaning and effect, and use the full range of figurative devices — metaphor, simile, personification, idiom, imagery and hyperbole. They sharpen ideas with precise verbs and word choice, work with form, voice, tone, theme and symbolism, experiment with visual and found poetry, and revise, publish and perform polished work. 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 precise craft and figurative language, through sound, form, voice and symbolism, to experimental and published work — a rigorous, print-and-go term that stretches your most capable writers. Australian spelling and contexts throughout.
Skills covered across the term: precise craft and figurative language, metaphor, personification and hyperbole, sound and music, form and structure, voice, tone and theme, symbolism and subtext, experimental and visual 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.
