We looked at at two different poems; ‘Dulce et decorum est’ and ‘The Soldier’. We focussed on how the language features within the poems create imagery for the reader. We looked at the use of adjectives, similes and metaphors in particular and thought about what impact these had. Finally, children worked in small groups to perform sections of the poems, using expression to emphasise certain parts.
