Welcome to the perfect compliment for the Darkwood Manor story!
Full of interesting activities, voice-overs and spine-chilling music; these detailed powerpoints and videos will take your delivery of Darkwood Manor to the next level and help further establish the gothic tone.
During remote learning in 2020, I created videos to introduce each upcoming lesson, which inspired the story of Darkwood to go in new and interesting directions, especially at a time when we could not be face-to-face. It was an excellent tool for engaging pupils in an innovative way and each week they started the lesson excited to hear what was coming next - hope you like them.
