As part of our study of the gothic genre, our Y9 and Y10 students were visited by Red Heart Theatres to watch a performance of the texts we have studied in the classroom.\u00a0 Y10s watched a performance of their GCSE text:\u00a0Jekyll and Hyde,\u00a0<\/i>while our younger students watched performances of H.G. Wells:\u00a0The Red Room<\/i>\u00a0and Edgar Allan Poe:\u00a0Tell-Tale Heart<\/i>.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Here\u2019s what some of our students said:<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
\u2018Seeing it in person makes it more understandable.\u2019<\/div>
\u2018It showed me setting helps set the mood.\u2019\u00a0<\/div>
\u2018It really brought the stories to life and allowed me to better understand the events.\u2019<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
This was a great immersive way for the students to better understand their texts!<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
