Quote Revision - EDUQAS Poetry Anthology - 9-1

Quote Revision - EDUQAS Poetry Anthology - 9-1

(0)
As we all know, learning quotations is vital for success in the new GCSEs. I created this PPT of revision starter activities and used it with my class last academic year. They could also be used for plenaries or mini homeworks. Here’s how I used this resource: students were given ten minutes at the start of a lesson to complete the task either individually or collaboratively, but with no teach input. These activities stimulated some excellent discussion, especially the Venn diagram tasks. There are three different types of task: Name the poem & poet from the quote. This type of slide also contains two challenge tasks (stating other poems to compare with, linking with context, explaining the quotes). Venn diagrams asking students to compare or contrast specified poems. Asking students to link poems by theme, recall three quotes from each and explain them.
