Joseph Conrad’s ‘Heart of Darkness’ was of course adapted by Francis Ford Coppola into the iconic ‘Apocalypse Now’, often leaving this landmark text sometimes ignored.

This framed novel contains three parts, split down into subsections for study. This power point lesson focuses on part 2, 2 of 3 (The Hut and its book - The White Fog) and contains a starter activity, a glossary of terms, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary.

This is a complete resource that has completed all of the difficult work for teachers. Enjoy!
