Looking closely at the scary stories genre, the genre worksheet is designed to work with the story Winter Pruning by Chris Priestley from the short story anthology Uncle Montague´s Tales of Terror. The other two sheets are generic genre or horror or scary story worksheets. For the characteristics sheet, I viewed lots of youtube clips of genres and looked at book covers to get the students to fill in the characteristics.

Great first lesson with an overview of AO3 as well as a careful look at aspects of language and structure in the poem. Two potential timed essay exam style questions at the end and a homework task on Rossetti. Fab stand alone lesson, could be used as an intro to the poem or as a revision task.
An excellent resource including plenty of social and historical context as well as analysis of the language and structure of the poem. A stand alone lesson with a possible timed essay response at the end. This produces excellent responses from my Year 12 group, which is a broadly mixed ability group!

A self standing quiz, takes about 40 minutes, could be ideal for a cover lesson as it involves self assessment and the possibility of a useful and worthwhile lesson with no teacher input whatsoever. Possibly more useful if students are given the A4 Literary Terminology Sheets for revision a week before!
A great resource for context with some introductory notes on how to respond to Assessment Objectives, two clear homeworks linked to AOs and some Language, Form and Structure ideas. Would link really well with Flip Classroom ideology as tasks can be completed before lessons and thus inform more meaningful discussion of text
