A brief overview of this scheme:

Each lesson is structured with a ‘Do Now’ task, a recap-focus or context introduction task, time for reading, a main task and a plenary.

There is also a template for ‘Frayer Model’ which you can use as/when you need!

The lessons are as follows:

L1 - An Introduction to Edgar Allan Poe
L2 - Poe’s Death - A Macabre Introduction
L3 - Animals in Gothic Fiction and Poe’s Works
L4 - Establishing a Gothic Setting - ‘Fall of The House of Usher’
L5 - ‘The Raven’ - Analysis of Character

L13 Assessment Planning Sheet and Slide

All of the texts can be found for free online. We are using a copy of ‘Selected Works of Edgar Allan Poe’ which you may find to be suitable to buy-in!

These lessons can be drawn out over more than one, so this should be enough to get you through a half-term!

There are skills focused on GCSE English Language Paper 1 Section B skills as well as GCSE English Literature skills on comprehension of texts, so you can use this to do a creative writing OR reading task!
