This is just a quick lesson that looks at the links between the last ghost and death. Focus here is on the fear factor of the ghost, which could easily be linked to the fear of death but also the fear of an uncertain future. Please review and comment on how it could be improved if needed

A lesson for lower ability year 10 students to introduce them to Human Interest.

Suited to KS2 or low ability Year 7. Looks at the conventions of a fairy tale, using Baba Yaga stories. Includes link to animated version of Baba Yaga and Vasilisa the Fair. I used this as a build up to an assessment where students had to complete a fairy tale having been given an opening

A Woosh for the Christmas Carol, with a few key quotes identified. Wrote this with GCSE students in mind.

This is a simple resource looking at the Lit question for Christmas Carol. The focus is on how to tackle the first bullet point, referring back to the extract provided. First students start with an example to work through together, using the description of the Ghost of Christmas Present, picking out key word. Then they read through the description of the dance The Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge to, Finally there is a market place activity leading up to the writing of an essay. Teachers may wish to extend this over two lessons.
