Description
This bundle includes three different resources where students will:
- Analyze different topics related to gothic horror before researching and writing their own report
- Watch the short animated film Ghosts of Père Lachaise before researching famous people buried in the cemetery and writing a narrative in the same style of the movie, including gothic horror elements
- Analyze different graphic novels for features before reading examples of Penny Dreadfuls. Students will then create their own Penny Dreadfuls (or apply a previous gothic horror narrative) in the style of a graphic novel
The pack includes different graphic organizers, resources for lower ability pupils, as well as lesson plans and rubrics.
In the past, I’ve used these resources during a unit on gothic horror, but it could be used as a stand alone learning outcome, as well.
