Pinwheel Poetry

Pinwheel Poetry is a really interesting drama activity to do! It is usually linked with a familiar text (e.g. a story, TV show, etc.). Each student will write a line or two in the perspective of one of the characters from the text (can be chosen by the teacher). As a whole class or in groups of about 5 or 6, the students will stand in a circle, facing outward and having their backs face each other. One by one, they will slowly rotate and as a student faces the front/the audience, they will say the line(s) that they wrote. This continues until all of the students in the group have said their line(s).
