I have been working on Shakespeare units having moved to GZ and working in an Ontario Offshore school. Working with Grade 12's initially our English 4U classes were working on Hamlet. Since then I have been developing a unit for Macbeth.
The Macbeth unit has taken a turn towards horror and looking at literature from a more mechanics of writing point of view (formalist) rather than a more author/genre based study of the text (Structuralist)
Working on a Zombies Unit/Course for Grade 12 literature (due to coursee content)Horror/Suspense focus point rather than a complete diversification or strict following of "contemporary literature". The unit has been developing into this horror and suspense genre of readings that students are "mostly" into, with varying degrees of interest based on what activities I do to get them into it.
The Zombie unit/course is a plan I created while working at a BC Offshore school but never had an opportunity to use. After this Macbeth unit, I dug up the resources and have been contemplating on offer this unit for the short stories side of course OR cleaning it up a bit to make it appropriate for a grade 10/11 graphic novel unit.
Expect to see resources released in the near future, I havea few I need to put together with a nice bow and release as well as a some nice informative and entertaining lessons for students/teachers.
Just posting this video here so I know where to find it, thought I would also share some details as to plans.
