Very pleased with this download. Lesson on tragedy has been brilliant for my high ability Y9 group. I’ve had to adapt the sample paragraphs as it’s more useful to have textual analysis rather than general paragraphs on each feature. Nevertheless a lovely resource that’s given me plenty of ideas. Thanks!
