The Woman in Black - twelve lessons focusing on reading skills (first half of novella)

A series of twelve lessons designed to introduce KS3 students to the analysis of fictional prose. The scheme of work includes lessons that focus on writing paragraphs that analyse language devices, punctuation and structural techniques. It also introduces students to writing styles and contextual influences of the Victorian/Edwardian era. A range of homework activities and extension/support materials are included to stretch and challenge students with a range of different abilities. The assessments are designed to establish the skills required for analysing extracts for GCSE literature questions. This series of lessons focusses on the first half of Susan Hill's novella 'The Woman in Black'. I have written a second SOW that looks at the second half of the novella, focussing on creative writing skills (available separately).
