Introduction to the Gothic Genre Years 6-9

As with most of my units of work An introduction to the Gothic Genre: Years 6-9 is designed as a powerpoint teaching resource. It includes a plethora of different Gothic texts which range from the humorous The Addams Family (1960s version) to the serious The Sandman by Paul Barry (NOT the same The Sandman as currently showing on Netflix). Activities include Creative writing, Writing a Review, Designing a Poster, A Multi media task, Visual Literacy, Close Reading, Comprehension and 2 short storied The Tell Tale Heart and The Monkey’s Paw. While Part 1 of The Monkey’s Paw is close reading with Q & A Parts 2 & 3 are audio and read along. All videos are embedded into the slides for each of teaching. If you’re not with your students you can simply advise the covering teacher which slide you’re up to. The PPT is complemented by a Workbook which includes the stories, activities and the assessment task. THE WORKBOOK IS SOLD SEPARATELY
