A to Z of Themes - Discussion Questions

The “A to Z of Themes” is a versatile collection of discussion questions on 33 themes. (See list below.)
• points for discussion in English language classes
• familiar themes from set literary texts
• connections to PSHE/Citizenship topics
I have included notes for teachers = ideas for using the questions beyond discussion.
It is aimed at 14-16 year old students and can be adapted to any syllabus/assessment criteria.
