Poem Exploration In groups of 5/6 you will receive a copy of War Photographer by Carol Anne Duffy. As I read the poem highlight words that jump out at you. Think about vivid imagery, things you can envision due to her wording, and how these could become more visual through Drama.

Mark the Moment We will now use the strategy of Marking the Moment. As a group collaborate on what you believe to be the 5 most significant moments from the poem – if it helps use the highlighted words you picked out previously.

Visualise the Poem You will now demonstrate your marked moments in a visual manner. It is up to you as a group how you interpret the poem but the following rules must be obeyed:   Success Criteria: You must have 5 clear still images that are held for 5 minutes You must use the mediums of movement, mime and gesture but no words You must include all members in every image You could consider a naturalistic or physical theatre approach You could consider the element of contrast You will have 10 minutes to work on your depiction.
