N5 War Photographer

We finished our initial study of Duffy's 'War Photographer' today, and looked at a short interview with Don McCullin, one of the photographers from whom Duffy drew inspiration when writing her poem.

Here is another documentary about Don McCullin and war photography--it is absolutely fantastic and will help consolidate understanding of the poem and its message:

BBC Imagine: McCullin

S3 Talking Turkeys

Today we talked about turkeys!

Benjamin Zephaniah, 'Talking Turkeys'

We then went on to examine the poem independently. Great fun!
