This landmark text is extremely relevant in today’s post-modern society. This A level power point lesson explores the meaning within chapters 1 and 2. With the AOs firmly in mind it opens the purpose of Austen’s work through structured tasks and academic writing. Extremely colourful and extremely engaging for the students. I have taught this text many times and have used this particular resource to lead the learning in class, as a revision tool and also as a homework – all have worked well for the students. This power point lesson contains a starter activity, a recap on previous learning, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, an extension task and a plenary. I tend to provide roughly about two hours classwork per presentation, this way the teacher can shave it down or use it for independent study time. Enjoy – everything is taken care of!

A Level: (8) Heart of Darkness Part 2, 3 of 3 Thinking Kurtz is dead - Meeting the Russian

(0)
Joseph Conrad’s ‘Heart of Darkness’ was of course adapted by Francis Ford Coppola into the iconic ‘Apocalypse Now’, often leaving this landmark text sometimes ignored. This chilling work (ahead of its time) questions the hollowness of civilisation and the truly barbaric nature of the British Empire’s campaign of colonialism. This framed novel contains three parts, split down into subsections for study. This power point lesson focuses on part 2, 3 of 3 (Thinking Kurtz is dead - Meeting the Russian) and contains a starter activity, a glossary of terms, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. All slides are beautifully illustrated and very engaging for the students. I have taught this text for the last five years and I have used this resource to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning material and as a tool of revision. This is a complete resource that has completed all of the difficult work for teachers. Enjoy!

The complex and challenging texts remain as controversial in the post-modern world as they did at the time of publication. I have taught these texts a number of times and have refined this resource at the close of every academic year. I have successfully used this resource to lead my teaching in the classroom, as a homework or distance learning material and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This colossal twenty-five slide presentation provides the appropriate detail and exploration required at A level, and is suitable with slight adaptions for IB and the American system. This presentation commences with an exploration into post-modern representations of females, with structured writing tasks, discussion and mini research tasks - bringing awareness to the inherent sexism that still exists. This exploration scaffolds a more informed analysis of the female characters in both texts, and this is once again taught through a series of structured tasks. Every slide is dynamically illustrated and very engaging. This presentation also contains an extension task and homework assignment. There is no work for you to complete whatsoever. This is a complete resource. Enjoy.
