Toni Morrison’s ‘Beloved’ remains an essential text to support our understanding of the post-modern dilemmas of racial inequality. I have taught this novel a number of times and have refined these resources at the close of every academic year. It works! I have successfully used these resources to lead my teaching in the classroom, as homework and distance learning materials and even as tools of revision – all have worked well for the students.
These beautifully illustrated PowerPoint lessons each contain a starter activity, a glossary of terms, summary and analysis questions, questions exploring themes, an academic writing task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. These are complete resources that require no additional labour from the overworked teacher. Approximately two hours of structured classroom work per PowerPoint. Enjoy!
