I have also used it as 'silent work' where each student picks a category and question and then the entire class must answer on paper silently. At the end we take up the answers and each person gives themselves a score to see how they've done.

Practice questions: Students identify the two poems they will be comparing and which theme they will address based on their previous answers> Teachers can fill in these questions for them OR assign them as a weekly homework task. 7. Self Assess> in this section students are expected to fill in a grid of three criteria they want to meet, how they have met it in their answer and how they are going to improve. I have purposely left the criteria blank as it will greatly depend on the skill level of the student. Note: This booklet can be used alongside teaching the poems instead of revision.
