The Woman in Black: Chapter 1

A series of three lessons on Chapter 1 of The Woman in Black. Focusing on the concept of ghost story, and then moving on to look at close analysis of extracts describing setting.
Pupils are engaged by setting the scene, reading a traditional ghost story by firelight (personally I always use the log fire on Netflix to try and recreate this!) and in later lessons analyse two separate extracts in detail. Includes a detailed teacher example of an analytical paragraph, so that progress is scaffolded to support weaker students.
