Quote hunt!

Year 11 revision can be quite repetitive. In the spirit of making revision fun...I'm going to give my Foundation Year 11 class a chance to hunt around for relevant quotes (hidden around the classroom). I'm going to hide relevant historical information around the class too. Different past exam questions will also be placed around the room. Students will be told to choose an exam question and start their hunting for at least four relevant quotes and two pieces of relevant historical information!

In respect of the Learning Objective, the table below will encourage them to consider how relevant their quotes are to their essay questions as most students choose irrelevant quotes just to follow the P.E.E. method.



Don't be put off by the need to collect lots of quotes before the lesson. I downloaded some fantastic resources from @TeachitEnglish for OMM quotes instead of spending an eternity typing up lots of relevant quotes for every character and theme. @TeachitEnglish to the rescue!

I'll keep you posted on how it goes. :)
