Gothic Horror Elements - A Multimedia Introduction

These materials have been designed to provide a brief introduction to Gothic horror and are also great for Halloween! I have provided a variety of multi media resources including two short animated videos and a ‘Prezi’ (like a Powerpoint but more fun!) along with associated quizzes and texts as a PDF resource which can be tailored to the needs of the students. There are two versions in this package. One for older students, and one for students of ESL or younger students

The materials can be printed out and used in a multi media classroom, and the Prezi can be downloaded and installed on a computer for ease of use. Alternatively, copies of the PDF, which contains links to all online materials, can be purchased for students to install on their own computers so they can access everything directly.

16 pages

The lesson contains;

Version 1: Ages 14-16

1. PDF student and teacher documents that give an outline of the history of Gothic horror stories and the elements that are recognized as important to the genre.

2. A link on the PDF worksheet to view online or download the Prezi which contains 9 slides that describe the elements of a Gothic story visually with humorous speech bubbles and full narration.

3. Links to two animated videos and learning materials for new vocabulary, listening and reading comprehension quizzes along with a comic writing exercise.

4. A set of teachers notes and quiz answers along with a contact e.mail for enquiries.

Version 2: Younger students or those studying ESL

1. The same PDF student and teacher resources. However, these have simplified language and vocabulary and have been changed from book form to discrete lesson parts that can be distributed as handouts in any order. These have the same links to the movies and 'Prezi'.

2. There are also a wider range of review materials for this version, including a crossword, reading review, word quizzes, comic book text fill and a reading and word test based on the language learned.

If you have any questions about using Prezi or the iPad lesson, please feel free to contact me through TpT or download the preview and use my mail address.
