--- title: Cover Lesson SoW for The Woman in Black | English Teaching Resource description: Discover a comprehensive scheme of work for teaching The Woman in Black, featuring ready-to-use PowerPoint lessons and resources for non-specialist cover teachers. --- [Douglas Wise English Teaching Resources](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog) # [Cover Lesson SoW for The Woman in Black | English Teaching Resource](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/cover-lesson-sow-for-the-woman-in-black) Written by [Douglas Wise](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/author/wise) | 4 May, 2026   The scheme of work notionally covers 24 lessons. However, it’s unlikely that each one will tidily fit into a unit of precisely one hour. It may be the case that some lessons take a little longer, whilst others take a little less. That’s entirely normal and those delivering them should pace each one as the class and situation demands. They can be chopped-and-changed as you see fit. The lessons are designed to be delivered by cover teachers or non-specialists. In this way, the resources are fundamentally different to the ones included in the [traditional scheme of work](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/the-woman-in-black-teaching-resource) for English teachers. No photocopy is required, so all students need is a copy of the text itself. Each lesson takes the form of a PowerPoint slide deck, so those responsible for delivery can click-and-go. The slide decks contain common elements... 1. An overview for teachers (in a friendly green) 2. A holding slide to display at the start of the lesson including the Big Question and Do Now task 3. A introduction slide containing a broad overview of the chapter or section for when you read 4. A slide containing tracking questions for students to complete or discuss after the reading 5. A slide containing the Big Question and instructions about the main task The snips below should give you a good idea of how everything’s formatted... This is what the folder of files looks like... I hope the resources are useful and, crucially, that they save you some time.
