Hot Seating

As we are analysing the Highway Man by Alfred Noyes, ready to write an alternative ending, we needed to make sure that we stay true to the characters. We did this by pretending to be each character and then taking it in turns to interview them.

Performing a poem

As we continue exploring The Highway Man by Alfred Noyes, the children learned two verses from the poem and developed their performance skills. We also discussed the impact of vocabulary on the reader.

Drafting an alternative ending

After careful planning, the children have now writen an alternative ending. They have used the features of a narrative poem and have really thought about the rhyming pattern from the original poem.

Editing and improving

Now that the children have written their first draft of their alternative ending, they spent today editing and improving their work. They truly are a joy to read!
