My lesson-by-lesson PowerPoints are designed for higher ability but can be adapted for lower by simply removing some of the higher level contextual material available to stretch students. It takes students through Shelley’s Frankenstein step-by-step including activities to teach and engage students on a deep level with context, intertextuality/allusion, close language analysis and includes regular assessments, debates and thinking tasks as well as guided reading with questions for each chapter covered. Each lesson has a core focus on a chapter, character, plot point or theme. Lessons can be taught without amending and were designed originally for the new Grades 1 - 9 GCSE assessment without levels and designed to allow students to achieve grade 9. School this resource was designed for teaches AQA spec, but suits any specification which uses ‘Frankenstein’ as a core text. All worksheets included too. Video clip links are found in the ‘notes’ section of the relevant slide. Also adaptable for A Level due to high level of stretch provided.

*Ready to teach lessons* *All worksheets included* This resource provides a series of lessons focused on the Gothic tale 'The Red Room' including a range of activities from close language analysis, to exploration of theme to creative tasks. Originally this resource was taught to a group of high ability year 9s, but I have adapted it myself to suit high ability year 8s. It could also suit KS4 Gothic study as the tasks are stretching and can be added to.

This paper suits the mark scheme for AQA Paper 1 Creative Reading. It uses an extract from Chapter 3 of 'Dracula' as the focus and requires students to pick 4 details (Q.1.), analyse the language (Q.2), analyse the structure (Q.3) and then answer the 20 mark overall statement question (Q.4). This paper is my own creation (as there is only 1 example specimen for the new AQA spec.). The mark scheme can be found under the specimen paper mark scheme on the AQA website for Paper 1.

This resource is a comprehensive lesson which teaches and revises how to create/use complex sentences, colons and semi-colons. After teaching each punctuation task, there are tasks to be completed (all on the worksheet) with a round-up task at the end. Used originally to revise varied punctuation with KS4 for Language exam but can easily be used in KS3/KS4 starters.
