These have been made as a response to my SEN classes. Often, my students will get wound up in class and they need to take time outside. Telling them this can sometimes lead to confrontation as they believe they are in trouble so I made these as a way of communicating to them subtly and to allow them to quickly tell senior members of staff why they are outside. You will need to change the text, obviously.

Students are guided to find quotes explaining how Sheila changes throughout the play. The page numbers given are for the Heinemann version. This was made for Year 10, set 5.

These are designed to help students check back over their work before they claim they are finished. DUTE is a class acronym in my classes.

It may require differentiation for your classes as this is based on the needs of my classes.
