Year 9. Introduction to War Poetry! 4 Lessons - Siegfried Sassoon.

These 4 lessons (with attached poems and other necessary resources) have been created for a lower ability year 9 group, as an introduction to war poetry. All lessons have clear instructions and have been created using Microsoft Powerpoint, with possibilities for stretch and challenge highlighted, as well as differentiation for the lower end of the group.

The lessons focus on the poems 'Base Details' and 'Suicide in the Trenches' by Siegfried Sassoon. The lessons explore the use of satire and literary techniques as well as having a close focus on language by analysing connotations.

The lesson on satire worked really well alongside showing Blackadder Goes Forth's 'Goodbye' (the final episode).
