• Use the Interactive Study Resource to explore different features of the poem.
• Hot seating - ask a child to take on the role of one of the characters. Ask him / her about events from the story, and get children to question the character about the events of the poem, and their role within them.
• Freeze-frame different parts of the story. Ask children to pose different scenes from the poem. You can then quiz them about their role in the poem. You could also take digital photos which could be used to retell the poem using ICT (e.g. Powerpoint).

Thanks to Andrew Ross for recommending some of the above resources on Primary Teacher UK. If you have any more suggestions for using 'The Highwayman' in the classroom, add them to the comments.
