“The Highwayman” is a narrative poem written by Alfred Noyes, first published in 1906. It tells the story of an unnamed highwayman who is in love with Bess, a landlord’s daughter.
In this lesson, students will consider more than one point of view. They will first learn what a balanced argument looks like and the features of the text type. They will then put forward points for and against the statement ‘The Highwayman was to blame for Bess’ death’.
They will then look at an example text and consider why it is effective before planning out the structure of their own balanced arguments using the support frame. Finally, they will write their own balanced argument on the statement using the writing frame given.
