Grade level

• Secondary 3 English

Types of technology used

• Youtube video, google documents, Powerpoint, Audacity

Activities for the learning objectives

• The class will begin by the teacher showing a short video about Wilfred Owen’s life. The teacher

will explain the goal of the lesson, that is to understand the war from the point of view from

someone who fought in it and to dispel any myths surrounding the ‘glory’ of war. A google

document will be shared with the class, in which everyone will be instructed to add their

preconceptions of what it must have been like to fight in the first world war. After this, Wilfred

Owen poems will be assigned to groups of 4 students. Their task will be to create a Powerpoint

presentation, which must include a reading of their poem (Audacity) and analysis of the literary

techniques used in the poem. Each group will present to the class and receive feedback from peers
 and teacher. To finish, students will reflect and revise their thoughts on the war in the google

document.

Learning outcomes

• The teacher will informally assess by reading the changes made on the google document after the

class to see what the students have learned and formally assess the Powerpoint presentations

made by each group
