Ballad Poem: Charlotte Anne

LI: To understand the story in a ballad poem

This week for reading we have been focusing on a ballad poem based on a story about Charlotte Anne. A ballad poem is a long poem that tells a story. We unpacked the story help us make a connection to what was happening, wrote a summary and looked at the two different opinions of how women were expected to live at the time. Charlotte Anne didn’t agree with these strict rules and was often talked about because she chose to do a mans job.

This activity was intreseting for me because i learn lots of facts about the 1870s.
