**Full pack** Everything you need to enable students to write a high quality piece of description using a film clip as stimulus. You may wish to purchase the DVD of Bram Stoker's Dracula (it's a couple of pounds on Amazon). It is an 18 Certificate, but this particular clip is fine. This clip is also available on youtube, but is not fantastic quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFAu3vT5wUg Do check your criteria as you may be doing a different course to me so mark scheme included may need adjusting a little to your needs.

I decided to capitalize on one of the most interesting events of modern times- the unlikely election of a certain Donald Trump to enthuse my media students. One of Trump's strengths during a protracted promotional campaign leading up to the election was an EXCELLENT media team who produced a number of exceedingly clever media texts to present Trump as the hero waiting in the wings to save the nation! Obviously, Trump is a contentious issue and a few students got quite sniffy initially but the focus is on the SUCCESS OF THIS MEDIA CAMPAIGN not Trump himself and once made clear, the students really enjoyed the lessons on this. Great debates ensued among my students- although many dislike Trump it is without question that the American media were against him and you need to start from this perspective. It is so interesting. There is a fun video which sums up (1) the media bias (2) how Trump crept into power and (3) how unexpected the victory was considering he began as a total joke at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQgq_R13V3s shorter version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzl8xjkgXCo The unit also involves analysing Hillary Clinton's ads as a basis for comparison.

Various activities on Titus Andronicus. I read this play at uni and LOVED it. It is certainly Shakespeare’s most violent and perhaps also most comical play, and has been left behind with teachers overwhelmed by Romeo and Juliet etc etc. If you want to do something DIFFERENT this play has much to offer both KS3 students in terms of Shakespearean characterization and language especially visual imagery (see death of Lavinia). Also has some of the most memorable speeches in Shakespeare (see the ultimate villain; Aaron’s speech before his execution; when asked whether he is sorry, he says he is only sorry he did not do a thousand more crimes and goes on to list the most incredible horrific and darkly humourous crimes). Boys particularly love this play. I haven't been able to teach it in ages- I actually did it with a top set year 8 class which raised a few eyebrows!
