“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 these 2 lessons, students will read the poem and answer a range of comprehension questions on both Part 1 and Part 2. The first lesson will focus on Part 1 and the second lesson on Part 2.
Students will first complete a dictionary task looking at the vocabulary used so as to better understand the poem.
They will then complete a range of comprehension questions which can be cut and displayed around the classroom to encourage active learning. Support will be given on how to answer comprehension questions as well as a WAGOLL of a P.E.E.L answer. The questions are colour coded in order of difficulty and answers provided.
This lesson is suitable for KS2 and KS3 students.
