A set of questions for a hot seating session based on the poem The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. This resource provides questions for each of the three key characters from the poem; the highwayman, Bess and Tim the ostler.

The class read through the questions together and then three children are chosen to take on the role of each character for the hot seating session. The rest of the class then become detectives by using the questions to find out all about the characters.
