KS3 / KS4 English - Quiz Quiz Trade Cards

Persuasive Techniques - Great Revision : Print back to back so one side has the quiz, answer and challenge and the other says ‘Persuasive QQT’

24 QQT cards in total but more can be printed and mixed in.

QQT rules: 2 students stand facing each other each with a QQT card. 1 reads the quiz question to 2, 2 answers, if correct 1 can high 5 or shout “Yeah!”. If incorrect, 1 tells 2 the answer. Then 2 reads their question to 1 and the process repeats. Once they have both read their cards and answered, they swap cards, put their left arm up in their air and move around the room looking for a new QQT partner.

The cards have a CHALLENGE on them. If students have to wait for a new pairing or they found the question to quick or straightforward, they can ask their challenge question.

The first set (pages 1&3) have the definition and the technique as the answer, The second set (pages 5&7) have examples of the technique in action and the technique as the answer - a little more challenging.

Cards include the following techniques:
Emotive language
Forceful phrases
Rhetorical Questions
Statistics
Rule of Three / Triples
Personal Pronouns
Hyperbole
Repetition
Expert opinion
Imperatives
Anecdote
Short Sentences / Paragraphs

This resource was made by me and has always worked well. Cards 1&3 can be used alone with KS3 or LA KS4 sets. HA sets or classes ready for a challenge can have pages 5&7 mixed in.

Enjoy!
