Reading
This morning, your first task is to answer these questions related to the poem ‘The Highway Man’. You will find the poem as an attachment.
Read pages I , II, III
- What do you think the poem is about?

- Find and copy an example of alliteration.
- What do you imagine when you read ‘the road was a ribbon of moonlight’?

I am not sure what is happening with the highway man poem. It has been re-saved in two different formats now. When opened form the blog I was able to see all 3 pages so I am not sure if this is a technical issue. Please do try the second take and see if that works :)
