3 X Gaming Box Templates

A great lesson starter to get learner’s to recall the key quotes from the poetry anthology.

I created this PPT as my students were struggling with recalling quotes from the anthology. I found four different exam style questions and decided to make this task. It helps them to think on their feet when choosing a poem to compare theirs to, to see examples of questions that they could get in their exam and also tests them on whether they can recall quotes under pressure. I asked them to do the following: Read the exam question and think of a poem that you can compare this poem to. Write down why you would use this poem as a comparison. Read the question again and write down one quote you would use in your response when comparing these poems.
