The Highwayman - 4 Week Home Learning Pack - UKS2 - Year 5 - Poem - Poetry

This resource is a 4 week home learning pack I created based around The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes, originally for Year 5. This pack explores the different literary techniques found within The Highwayman and explores devices of figurative language such as similes, metaphors, alliteration and more with specific examples. At the end of this home learning pack, children will have drafted, edited and perfected their final poem from another character’s point of view, using Alfred Noyes’ style.

There are 20 “lessons” and each one has a WALT attached to it and a brief description of what to do on each day.

I am still an NQT, so I do not know if this will be up to the standard that some schools will be working to. Please let me know if you find this pack useful at all - even if it is just for some ideas.
