“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 write a diary entry from the perspective of a character. They will first look at the features of a diary and then look at WABOLLs (What a bad one looks like) and WAGOLLs (What a good one looks like). With the WAGOLL they will highlight it according to the features of a diary (example given).
Then they will ‘hot seat’ different characters from the poem to better understand their perspectives before writing their own diary entry using the writing frame provided.
This lesson is intended for KS2 but could be modified to suit KS3. This lesson is part of a sequence of 7 lessons on The Highwayman.
