For the third week of quizzes I have written questions where all of the answers begin with the same letter, predominantly quotation based, linking across all aspects of the exams. There are 2 lots of 4 quizzes with different text combinations (Macbeth, Jekyll and Hyde, An Inspector Calls, Conflict Poetry AND Romeo and Juliet, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Conflict Poetry) and the answers on the following slide. All questions are interleaved and each quiz is worth 10 marks - I use them simply as quick starters in the run up to the exams, which are immediately peer-assessed so students know where the gaps are in their knowledge. Please note there are four other quizzes available for week one in my other resources.
