Lesson outcome

I can plan an imaginative letter that recounts an experience in the trenches of World War One using Wilfred Owen’s 1917 letter to his mother as stimulus.

Show transcript
Letters were a vital form of communication during World War One. Receiving and sending letters brought small moments of joy to those on the front, and those at home. Owen is best remembered for his poetry about World War One, but he also sent many letters home. Owen’s letters are different in structure, audience and tone from his poems, but still convey the horrors of war. Arguably, Owen’s letter is structured into three sections: scene-setting, recounting an event, conveying his attitude.
