A mansion of Gothic activities
This comprehensive resource is a great starting point for anyone teaching the Gothic as a topic or a specific Gothic text. It includes ten different teaching ideas along with differentiated or flipped versions of the activities.
The resource takes the metaphor of exploring a Gothic mansion to provide a number of teaching ideas. These include some introductory activities such as Gothic snap where students identify common tropes, a research task, analysing a monster, Gothic story consequences, writing Gothic settings, exploring Gothic music, designing Gothic games, writing parodies of Gothic characters, exam preparation activities and creating a display.
The accompanying PowerPoint presentation includes a selection of images to use alongside the teaching activities.
You can find out more about the approach, by reading Victoria Walker's CPD article on teaching Gothic fiction.
