Simple but effective revision lesson.
Starter: Ask students to try and remember quotations for the main characters using the A4 worksheet.
10 Romeo, 10 Juliet, 5 Capulet, 5 Tybalt, 5 Friar, 5 Mercutio.
Main: Give out the list of the 40 best quotations on the A3 sheet and ask students to analyse the quotations.
Review: Go through answers which appear on the PowerPoint one by one on each mouse click.
There is also a worksheet with more detailed answers on.
Use the A3 sheet to revise inferences for 10 quotations per character then compare against the answer sheet. The animations on the PowerPoint reveal each answer one by one so you can go through them in turn.
Activity is differentiated to encourage higher-level students to push for more advanced inferences and to identify and comment on language features and Priestley’s wider purpose.
