The teacher will explain the goal of the lesson, that is to understand the war from the point of view from someone who fought in it and to dispel any myths surrounding the ‘glory’ of war. A google document will be shared with the class, in which everyone will be instructed to add their preconceptions of what it must have been like to fight in the first world war. After this, Wilfred Owen poems will be assigned to groups of 4 students. Their task will be to create a Powerpoint presentation, which must include a reading of their poem (Audacity) and analysis of the literary techniques used in the poem. Each group will present to the class and receive feedback from peers

and teacher. To finish, students will reflect and revise their thoughts on the war in the google document. Learning outcomes • The teacher will informally assess by reading the changes made on the google document after the class to see what the students have learned and formally assess the Powerpoint presentations made by each group
