This resource contains an extract from Stephen King’s ‘IT’ to support learners in identifying language techniques used by the writer to create an atmosphere of horror and terror. Tasks on the worksheet include, an information retrieval activity, defining inferences, spotting language features and an exam-style question.
Sensitive content: students have to infer that the character has died through self harm / suicide in a bathtub. This opens up controversial and challenging conversations on mental health and it raises awareness of male suicide (Mental Health Week).
Due to the release of the popular remake of the horror film ‘IT’ (Chapters 1 and 2), it was a hit with my students.
Alongside this resource, I have included a Paper 1, Question 1 starter/recap activity of Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ and a student support guide on basic language features.
Enjoy!
