Recommended: Print the Student ppt with two slides per page (as this allows enough room for students to fill in the gaps). A thorough and detailed powerpoint that explains the tragic theory and terminology of Aristotle, as well as non-Greek ideas about tragedy (including Machiavelli).

The powerpoint keeps students engaged, as the 'student copy' has blanks, which require students to read attentively. There are questions within the powerpoint to allow students to stretch and challenge themselves. This powerpoint works well near the start of the year, or as a revision task. I personally use it after studying Act 1 of Othello, as students will be able to apply the theories and ideas to the text. This resource is a solid task, which will take up a whole lesson (1hr to 1hr 30), and will support students through any text. Created with the AQA Aspects of Tragedy in mind.
