This 15-slide lesson on Neil Gaiman’s horror story, ‘Don’t Ask Jack’, is ideal for KS3 classes studying short stories or genre writing.
Students are encouraged to consider common elements of the horror genre and key vocabulary associated with ‘horror’ and its atmosphere. Conducting close analysis of Gaiman’s language and structure, students are then tasked with creating their own piece of creative horror writing, inspired by ‘Don’t Ask Jack’. Questions, discussion points, and tasks are included in the lesson.
A copy of the story is included in this resource.

A nice resource with some good ideas in it but the PDF format means that it can't be adapted for SEN or to further support LA students which is a massive shame. Doesn't feel worth the price.
This is great. I haven't used it yet, but I think the presentation will get the children thinking about presentation of character ( I really like the slide on Jack's box) as well as genre, mood and atmosphere. I like the creative response task too, thank you. Is there any chance you could provide me with it in a ppt form so I can add some bits in of my own to support my SEN? I would definitely have given it 5 stars if it was in ppt format.
