Previously I've suggested giving students a selection of haiku along with a series of statements about the structure and form of the poetry. Learners have to decide which statements are true and which are false.
Similar activities can be created to help learners work out spelling patterns (adding s or es for example) or to see where syllable splits occur. Provide learners with cards where words are split vc/cv (vowel consonant/ consonant vowel). First learners complete the words by matching the syllable back together to form complete words then they look for the pattern where the split has occurred and formulate the rule for that particular group of cards. The activity can then develop so that learners can see how syllable splitting occurs. In a large group of learners different types of syllable split can be worked out by small groups and then they feedback to the rest of the class. This gives room for differentiation.
