Deadly Unna: Chapters 11-15

A PowerPoint used to teach chapters 11-15 of Phillip Gwynne’s 1998 novel Deadly Unna?

We would read one chapter at a time (or listen to the audio book on CD) and then students would answer the chapter questions.

This PowerPoint contains a summary for each chapter and then slides with answers to the chapter questions. The PPT also includes links to ClickView where parts of the film Australian Rules have been snipped which illustrate events from that particular chapter (I did not show the film in its entirety as it has some parts where it differs from the novel).

This PPT also includes the questions for chapters 16-17 (no answers).

Resources designed for 10 English in Queensland, Australia. It is part of a novel study unit which culminates in a 90-minute examination (500 to 800-word essay). Students had 1 week notice of the question and could bring 100 words of notes in with them.

Within this unit students explored how an author’s use of language features, images and vocabulary contributed to the representation of themes in the novel. They also gained a deeper understanding of key literary techniques, including (but not limited to) characterisation, plot, and setting.
