This sheet contains information so students can annotate over 90 key quotations from the text. It should be noted that this was created for a fairly low ability class to help students who had missed a significant number of lessons to catch up. The annotations are not perceptive enough for students aiming for grades 7-9. They will nevertheless still offer a solid grounding for higher ability students to then explore the quotations further. The resource tells them the page number of each key quote so students must practise their scanning skills to find the quotation to highlight. Then students write the brief note beside each quotation to explain why it is important. The page numbers correspond to the Heinemann edition. Check the preview to ensure the page numbers correspond to the copy of the text you are using in class.
