In this lesson, we will begin to develop our response to Isabella Bird's perspective by defining her thoughts and feelings and placing her extract within a social and historical context of Victorian travel writing. Next, we will look at a written response to the extract using a writing frame to help organise our thoughts. At the end of the lesson, there will be an opportunity to assess our progress against a model response.
