This is a lesson that uses extracts to compare two very different, very gruff characters. It introduces a bit of 19th Century literature too, getting younger KS3 students at least a little familiar with what’s in store for them! This download includes: Detailed lesson plan Bright, engaging PowerPoint presentation with differentiated objectives Writing frames Quote sheets Extracts Templates for the Boggle starter Hope it saves you some time. Please feel free to leave feedback or any suggestions. I’d really appreciate that.

Included are two files to coordinate a lesson where students are given random cards to formulate their own Shakespeare play. The first is a document to cut up and distribute into different envelopes/boxes etc. This includes character names, plots, jobs, antagonists and so on. I’ve tried to keep them as Shakespearean as possible! The other is a worksheet set that includes a plot mapper and a storyboard that they plan in six parts. I’ve used this a few times and it’s always been brilliant. I split the group into two and call them the Bards and the Players. We have a competition and develop props and staging. There are LOADS of ways you can develop this. I hope you enjoy using this. Please leave feedback or suggestions! It’d be really appreciated.

This resource is a standalone lesson on Frankenstein and the characterisation of his monster. It’s ideally used for HA Y7 up to LA Y9. Can easily be pitched up or down, however all resources are fully differentiated. It has lovely links to classroom discussion and can be used as a springboard for other horror/gothic work. This was an observation lesson and was graded as ‘Outstanding’. This resource is also part of a SOW: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/murderous-horror-stories-ks3-scheme-of-work-12109498

Hello! Thanks for viewing the resource. Included in this download: 1x highly visually engaging and fully differentiated lesson I haven’t included hyperlinks to the openings as I use film clips on my laptop. I’m not entirely sure of the copyright issues involved with uploading those. I’ve knocked a little bit off the price because of this. I hope it will engage your students and afford you a bit of extra self care time! Please check out my other Macbeth resources too.
