Lesson Plan

British Library: Barrett Browning's Poetry: Social & Political Commentary

Curated by ACT

Elizabeth Barrett Browning gave a voice, in her poems, to many of those oppressed by contemporary injustice: child laborers, the poor, and the enslaved. In this lesson, students will give these voices dramatic form, using the techniques of 'role on the wall', 'still image' and 'thought-tracking' to show their insights into the experiences of those whose plight Barrett Browning describes.
