Teaching Tragic Heroes:

Tips for Enhancing Literary Analysis in Your Classroom

In five on-demand sessions, hear from a panel of experts as they examine tragic literature's best-known 'heroes': from the titular characters of Macbeth and Antigone, to The Crucible's dynamic protagonist, John Proctor.

This free Professional Development course will include:

  • 5x digestible sessions on tragic heroes, including cross-textual 'Compare and Contrast' teaching examples.
  • Free trial access to the DT+ platform - including diverse skill and text-based English resources.
  • Teaching tips and insights from our panel of experts.

New sessions will be made available weekly - the first will arrive in your inbox on Friday 18th October - in an on-demand format so you can engage with your PD on your own time. Plus, you can earn a Certificate of Attendance when you complete the course!

Please note: this course is tailored to a US audience, but the insights shared are relevant to any English educator at an equivalent level to Middle School or High School.
