This week we have been reading 'The Highwayman', a fantastic poem by Alfred Noyes. In a drama session we explored the emotions and motivations of the main character throughout the events in the poem. We delivered extremely heartfelt and rousing monologues as a result...
"In the darkness, I was riding through the gusty trees. It
was bitterly cold. My horse was getting tired as we had been riding all night.
As we strode into the dark inn-yard my heart began to pound, the
thought of seeing Bess made my knees melt.
I tapped onto
the shutters but it was all locked and barred, my ice lips began to whistle a
tune."
