On these slides: - A poem summary - Key quotation analysis - Questions - Links to themes These can be used as revision cards/posters or as starters. I use them for a quiz game... one student is the question master with the cards and asks the table questions based on the information. They then award the card to the student who answered the most/best. The student with the most cards at the ends winds.
