This Gothic scheme of learning will introduce KS3 students to the key elements of the Gothic genre, while building their reading, writing and comprehension skills.
You’ll find extracts from some of the most celebrated Gothic novels to share with students in this engaging teaching pack, as well as Gothic poems and ghostly short stories from the 18th and 19th century to the present day, including The Castle of Otranto, Northanger Abbey, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Hound of the Baskervilles, ‘The Red Room’ and ‘The Raven’ by Edgar Allan Poe. There is also an extract from the exciting new YA series, City of Ghosts, to celebrate contemporary gothic fiction and encourage more reading for pleasure.
The key stage 3 lesson activities are designed to provide an overview of Gothic genre conventions, tropes, settings and character archetypes, and anticipate the key themes in Gothic literature to prepare students for GCSE English Literature prose texts.
To develop students’ exam skills for GCSE English Language, the teaching pack also includes a range of comprehension tasks to build students’ unseen fiction and unseen poetry skills and their confidence with new texts and new vocabulary. There are also exciting stimulus ideas for creative writing tasks for students to develop their fiction writing skills and comparative tasks looking at two texts.
The 94-page pack is student-facing and aimed at year 7-9 students, and includes a range of engaging teaching resources, worksheets and PPTs. There are differentiated activities, with stretch and challenge extension suggestions as well as more supportive ‘ladder up’ tasks, such as sentence starters and scaffolded resources.

Whet their appetites for learning languages!
Based on our popular French pack and written with the non-specialist teacher in mind, this pack is full of games and activities to introduce Spanish at KS1 or lower KS2. It includes sections on greetings, introductions, numbers, colours and parts of the body.
¡Vamos!
Key features:
17 supporting resources
includes five minute activities and activities for longer sessions, extension suggestions, home learning tasks, assessment opportunities and ideas to keep the language ticking over
links to the curriculum.
Mastering grammar: verbs and tenses (French) is designed to teach and review the key verb forms and tenses required by the GCSE curriculum at both Foundation tier and Higher tier. It is suitable for use with key stage 3 and key stage 4 students across a wide range of abilities and is not specific to a particular exam board.
The aim of the pack is to make the grammar appear logical and accessible by drawing students’ attention to patterns through fun, communicative activities that are informed by aspects of Gianfranco Conti’s EPI approach, including ‘mind reader’, ‘find someone who’ and ‘pyramid translation’.
What’s included?
The pack consists of eight units, one on each of the following tenses / verb forms:
present tense
negatives and questions
perfect tense
imperfect tense
future tenses
conditional tense
reflexive verbs
modal verbs and the passive voice
plus a review unit at the end.
The units are not intended as schemes of work but rather as a bank of ideas from which you can pick one activity or a series of activities at a level appropriate for your class. The examples used cover a variety of topics so that the activities can be integrated into your teaching at any point in the course. The vocabulary has deliberately been kept very simple, enabling students to concentrate on understanding and practising the grammar. There is particular focus on negatives and questions as examiners’ reports indicate that candidates often struggle with these.
Each unit includes:
an explanatory PowerPoint
3–5 awareness-raising activities (‘recognising the tense’)
3–5 practice activities (ranging from receptive knowledge through structured production to freer practice)
3–5 assessment tasks (receptive and productive knowledge)
answers (for activities with ‘right/wrong’ answers).
The PowerPoint teaches the grammar point explicitly, starting with a comparison of the English tense / verb form with the French one. If you have weaker students, you could show them the explanatory PowerPoint after the activities, or not at all. If you have more able students or prefer a more traditional approach, you could show them the PowerPoint explanation before starting the activities.
