<p>A cover lesson I used for year 9, but could be used for any KS3 class. Lesson consists of understanding features of the gothic genre. Feature spotting from a dracula trailer on youtube. Vocabulary and expression when using descriptive writing. An extract for Jekyll and Hyde as an example and a creative writing task in which students create their own gothic monster description. Engaging and fun.</p>

<p>A fun lesson to introduce the topic of Heroes and Villains. I created this for a year 6 transition lesson up to year 7. Would be a fun KS3 cover lesson or introduction to topic.</p> <p>Students discuss with oracy tasks the effectiveness of Heroes and villains.</p> <p>Students start with a fun task of getting their own monster to turn into top trumps cards for a later battle royale preliminary task. And creating a basic description of their monster.</p> <p>Then there is a creative writing task to use their description in the introduction to story. Ending with peer assessment and battle royale top trumps.</p> <p>Do it now task<br /> drill<br /> comprehension<br /> Top Trumps Task<br /> descriptive writing task<br /> self/peer assessment.</p>
