Remembering quotations An Inspector Calls - Quotation retention session Exam revision

(0)
After hearing how useful chanting quotations was, from a colleague, for students in remembering key quotes, I led a session for year 11 that guided them through ways of remembering quotes for their literature exams. By the end of this session students will know 3 quotations relating to the inspector by heart. This is achieved through linking the quote to an image and possibly an action and then by repeatedly chanting the quotes. The resource also walks through the mark scheme with students and highlights how crucial quotations are in achieving marks. Students will also explore writer's methods used within the quotes Students are also exposed to an example question paper so they can see the lack of support they will receive and refers to the other literature questions. The final activity requires students to use the quotations they have learned to plan a response to an exam question about the inspector.

With very few sample assessment materials provided by the exam boards I have created my own. They have been made to look exactly like the assessments that students will sit in the real 9-1 examinations and are phrased in the same ways too. The student responses can then be marked using the relevant mark scheme for literature. The extract in this assessment is taken from The Carew Murder Case.
