A rich and engaging lesson resource which includes a range of pre-reading and starter activities, along with 12 thought-provoking questions about Carol Ann Duffy's powerful poem and a continuum task.

The PowerPoint includes a series of powerful photographs of war for students to consider. The Word resource includes five tasks for students to complete. 

 

An example task from the classroom resource: 

Look at five photographs that have been taken in times of conflict: either in the PowerPoint presentation or through your own research.

For each one, consider your reaction and make brief notes on:

  • how you would describe the atmosphere
  • what you think the people in the image might be thinking/feeling
  • which image you find most emotive and why.
