This resource includes a full lesson on Poe’s poem ‘The Raven’, shortened and edited to enable teaching of it in 1 lesson. It originally formed part of a scheme for year 9 looking at a wide variety of poetry in preparation for their GCSE study, but would be suitable for any GCSE group as practice.
There are 2 lessons in total which approach the poem as an unseen text, helping pupils develop poetic analysis skills (for AQA, but would work for any exam board); before moving into a creative writing cross-over task where pupils write their own Gothic story opening (as per English language paper 1 on the AQA spec).
The PPT includes:
- Introduction to the poem through an image
- Introduction to the Gothic genre and recap of what it means through key images and features
- A video reading of The Raven if required
- guided light touch annotation through hints and an exam style question (optional paragraph writing task)
- A creative writing task of a 100-200 word story, based around key vocabulary from the poem
- Creative writing cross over (where pupils write their own Gothic story opening, using the poem and images as inspiration. Guided planning an peer assessment).
