Full of interesting activities, voice-overs and spine-chilling music; these 6-lesson detailed powerpoints and videos will take your delivery of Darkwood Manor to the next level and help further explore the gothic tone. During remote learning in 2020, I created videos to introduce each upcoming lesson, which inspired the story of Darkwood to go in new and interesting directions, especially at a time when we could not be face-to-face. It was an excellent tool for engaging pupils in an innovative way and each week they started the lesson excited to hear what was coming next - hope you like them. This scheme comes complete with detailed powerpoints and supporting resources, so no planning is needed, you are ready to go! I have recently also written an engaging script to support my scheme.
