Abstract/Summary

In 2020, the Department of English Literature at UoR worked on a Study Higher outreach project designed to acquaint GCSE literature students with ideas and approaches to the subject that might be encountered at HE level. The project took the form of a card game that encouraged collaborative story telling. It focused on The Ghost Story, and introduced players to ideas of genre, as well as addressing historical and theory contexts. The repository item is the booklet that accompanied the game, It was written by Neil Cocks from DEL, with additional material from Katy Green, SLL Outreach Lead, and James Stoorie, a creative writer specialising in tales of the supernatural. The booklet was designed and illustrated by Study Higher.
