1984: main characters analysis cloze, differentiated x4

Please look at Winston Smith’s sheet for free HERE to see if this resource is right for your classes. The format is the same for all five characters.

This activity contains separate character analysis activities for Winston, Julia, O’Brien, Goldstein, and Big Brother: their characters and roles within the novel. Most useful for middle- and lower-ability pupils. The text (c. 300 words) includes a discussion with selected quotations.

Missing words boxed at the bottom of the sheet; each word used once only.

Differentiated FOUR ways, 1 - least help, to 4 - most help thus: (e.g. missing word is durable)

4: gap is __________________
3: gap is __ __ __ __ __ __ __
2: gap is d_________________
1: gap is d __ __ __ __ __ __

(this doesn’t display correctly here on TES, so please see also previews of the bottom of Winston Smith’s free sheets , showing how the differentiation works). Each version occupies just one side of A4.

Answer sheet, very easy to mark. PDF and DOC of everything. You will download a .zip file, from which the sheets can be extracted.
