The Highwayman Summary







This week for reading we have been focusing on a ballad poem based on a story about the highwayman. A ballad poem is a long poem that tells a story. The first thing that we were to do was to read the poem with a partner. While reading this poem we were to understand what the poem was  about.To finish this task we were to write a summary about the highwayman poem. A highwayman is someone who rides a horse and someone who steals. This poem was written by Alfred Noyes. For this task myself and Sky worked together. After reading and talking about this poem we watched a video that gave us visual pictures about the poem. Since there were a lot of activities to do about this poem I also completed a simile and metaphor activity. For this task we were to see if the sentences was a simile or a metaphor.
