Gothic Literature mega bundle : full lessons and practical writing pack

This is a great value bundle with three slideshows and over four separate documents on top, offering many hours of teaching.

There are two informative slideshows which define what the Gothic genre is and provide many useful terms, quotations, images and focus task opportunities.

1. Slideshow one is aimed at younger students, mainly years eight and nines, or as a quick contextual background starter for GCSE texts with a Gothic backdrop.
2. Slideshow two ha more details and is targeted at older students, year 11-13.
3. Useful reference grid for many types of suspense, with full definitions AND suggestions for the effects they create. Ideal resource for helping students analyse Gothic writing. Also shows them new techniques they can apply in their own compositions.
4. A substantial narrative writing pack which consists of many resources to help students write in a structured narrative, story-telling style, master more technical skills and confidence. The pack has a task based on a haunted house, and ideally, students write this ‘spine-chilling tale’ at the end of the unit, after they have worked through the resources. You may like to laminate images of scary scenes from the haunted house, alongside other Gothic images, to stimulate their imaginations…plus you can use the resources again.
