A-level 'Duchess of Malfi' - close analysis cloze exercises for Eduqas/WJEC specification

For A-level, Eduqas specification, a revision pack for ‘Duchess of Malfi’ and ‘Streetcar Named Desire’. The emphasis is much more on ‘Duchess of Malfi’ (‘Streetcar’, as an AS text, is more likely to have been already read, so focus is on ‘Duchess’ and links to ‘SND’). Also includes an example of how to turn the cloze exercise into a mind map to revise from. There is one activity for each act of the play.

This is a revision/homework activity which encourages:

• Close analysis of certain key scenes and excerpts (AO1/2). The activities are in the form of cloze activities (sentence starters and gaps for students to add quotation or commentary) which ask students to find quotation to support a point or to add commentary to quotation.
• Focused revision. I used these as revision activities for a clear focus on certain key excerpts of the play.
• Points of comparison between D of M and SND.
