Lesson plan originally created for year 9 to develop their skills of writing a P.E.E structured answer, exploring the effect of Owen's language choices in the poem. Includes an opportunity for a whole-class model answer which then forms the basis for some independent responses.

Powerpoint presentation looking at emotive language and linking the use of emotive language to Priestley’s intentions.
