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 plan, young scholars 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.
