Print these and display them above your board in your classroom to refer to when you remind students of the different exam focuses each question has for the examination.

An interactive activity to share ideas quickly about the play. Students are each given their piece of information, then they spread their 'gossip' around the room, exchanging information as they go.

Students LOVE this and it creates a fantastic learning buzz in the classroom.
