Ever wondered what the significance of Coral Island was to Lord of the Flies? I made myself read it and put together this presentation which takes you through all the connections.

A collection of all the references to the sea in the play, with blank slides for students to interact with the quotation followed by my teacher notes, analysing each quotation. This would be useful if you were setting up an essay perhaps on this theme.
Suitable for any A level spec, the slides cover the theme of Love and are structured to cover the following ideas:

Lust/sex is expressed in place of love
Self-preservation is more important than love

Close analysis of the Thornfield chapters of Jane Eyre. This has been produced in a powerpoint format so that teachers may use it in front of the class enabling students to annotate their texts and to discuss the implicit meanings that Bronte hints at in her narrative. This was produced for an A level class but could equally suit a high achieving GCSE group.
