Memory retrieval Power and Conflict poetry tasks

Memory retrieval Power and Conflict poetry tasks


Currently, our KS4 students are revising their Power and Conflict poems and I hope this memory game will improve their recall of quotes.


Each image represents a short quote from one of our Anthology of poems. I've chosen to focus on three quotes from four poems with the deliberate intention of using the same images (with a variety of memory tasks) at the start of every lesson for a week. Our students love it!

Please find lesson 2's starter here. This time the images have been organised in columns with three poems from the same poem.

Here's lesson 3's memory starter:



Here's lesson 4's memory starter. This starter involves PowerPoint animations so that columns 1 appears independently first and then slides 2 and 3 and presented afterwards together.

All in all, I will continue to use this strategy for Power and Conflict quotes as well as Literature set text quotes.
