A wonderful drama and movement lesson plan for creating an effective and powerful performance of a WW1 narrative poem. Students explore the narrative poem The Hero by Siegfried Sassoon, looking at its rhythm, language, characters, story and, most importantly, the ironic contrasts it presents. They then use this learning to bring the poem to life. The lesson plan is clear and detailed and gives opportunities for all students to discuss and present ideas. This lesson works really well with grades
