- Planning a ghost story using the key features;
- Identifying the elements of ghost stories within key extracts of The Woman in Black;
- Analysing the effectiveness of Hill's features of ghost stories in The Woman in Black;

- Whole lesson PowerPoint - colourful and comprehensive;
- Extracts from the blurb and Chapter 1 of The Woman in Black;
- Template for creating their own ghost stories;
- Analysis template with success criteria for creating well-structured responses;
- Comprehensive lesson plan.
There are also opportunities for group learning, peer assessment, and whole class discussion. This was originally taught to middle-ability year 10 groups, but can easily be differentiated for groups of different ages and abilities.
