McCarthy's "The Road" Complete Unit - Higher/A Level/ IB

This is a complete PowerPoint unit on Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road”, suitable for older students studying Higher, A Level or IB. The PowerPoint consists of a mixture of teaching points, notes and student tasks. There are also many additional files, including a timeline of events, documents of key quotations, an exemplar essay, an essay plan, a PowerPoint teaching essay planning, and some documents with additional student tasks.

The main PowerPoint unit is organised into sections by page numbers, however I have added the quotations relevant to the start and end of each section, so they can be easily searched for in a pdf version, which can be found for free online. I have taught this unit many times with different copies of the text, and I have always used a pdf to help me to update the page numbers. If students are using a pdf version, it is even easier as they can then Ctrl+F the relevant quotations.
