This inspiring literacy lesson is based around Wilfred Owen’s First World War poem Dulce et Decorum est and is ideal for a Year 6 or 7 class. It is differentiated three ways.
The lesson begins by introducing children to the poet, whose work they listen to as part of an animated video clip.
Partner/group work then enables the pupils to analyse the poem and explore the language used before writing their own individual poem about an aspect of World War One.
This document includes the lesson plan with learning objective, success criteria, three differentiated versions of sections of the poem, information/pictures to display on the board for extra inspiration and a plenary.
I have not yet been observed teaching this particular lesson but I have received an outstanding grade in all my most recent observations from our head teacher as well as outside more senior observers.
