An A3 PDF resource that I created and used with my mixed ability KS3 English class. I got the learners to write down each character in the play and asked them to write down the character’s personality traits. They then drew each character (their interpretation of what they thought that character would look like). Learners were also asked to pick a key quote from the play that best reflected that character’s personality. Following this, they then wrote an overview of each scene.

The next number rolled is a 1, which mean the genre will be gothic / horror. the learner will then write a short story based on what they rolled on the prompt board. # E.g: A gothic short story set on a train featuring a teenage boy.
