Elements of Gothic Literature PowerPoint is a perfect way to introduce the gothic genre, Frankenstein, Dracula, or the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Presentation includes gothic influences in art and a formative assessment where students try their own hand at writing in the gothic genre. Students love to hear the spooky music as an inspiration to their portentously gloomy stories. Perfect for Halloween writing - or any other time.
