One of the units for our 12-13 year old students is 'Gothic'.
Most of our older students have heard of 'Dracula' and 'Frankenstein, but have not studied the texts or genre of Gothic literature in their French schools. They only know of the characters from films and comics.
In the unit of four lessons, they look at:
1) The Gothic genre
2) Research Dracula or Frankenstein
3) Design a book cover for a Gothic novel
4) Write an interview with a character from a Gothic novel
We believe it is important to have a mixture of written and creative tasks in the units for all of our students. Here are some of the wonderful book cover designs we received this year.
I am always impressed with the imaginative and creative designs they come up with!
I love the 'foggy' atmosphere that this student has been able to achieve with her front cover for Dracula. I also like the choice of font for the description for the book.
This poster is brilliant! It was all hand drawn by Dan and is really quite creepy when you see it in the flesh!
