S3 English have been working on a First World War poetry unit. We read a number of well known war poems, then the class wrote a critical essay on 'Dulce et Decorum Est' in timed conditions. They did really well with it, and showed real understanding and appreciation of the central concerns of the poem.
They are now planning a short story they're going to write, based on Siegfried Sassoon's 'A Working Party'.
