FOR THE LOVE OF LITERATURE

Average Rating4.39
(based on 969 reviews)

I love creating resources and spend far too much time doing it. Currently teaching mostly A-level English Literature, but there are a range of free and paid resources for all ages. I believe in challenging students with a range of ambitious material, but also believe that this needs to be underpinned by explicit direction on HOW students can develop their ideas in written form. Write better... think better... think better...write better... and so on.

I made this last year when teaching 'Frankenstein&' at AS for the OCR English literature spec (although could be adapted).\n\nI kept it to myself for a year but I think it&';s time to share the love. It's very detailed - could give to students as there are loads of activities but also would be useful if you&'re tackling the text for the first time - as a PGCE/NQT in particular, as many bits could be adapted into lesson activities.\n\nFly free, Frankenstein.... into the &';darkness and distance'!
