Here is a fantastic set of resources to create 'flow' (or whatever you want to call it) in your lessons.
Use the grids to create a grid reference via dice or a method of your choosing. Students then have to locate a second grid reference in order to create a link between the two images. For the literature texts, this requires students to find a quote in order to justify their ideas. Images can be literal as well as metaphoric.
There are also grids for the AQA conflict poems, Macbeth and A Christmas Carol (for more able students to compare the two together) amongst others.
Other grids include creative writing tasks (select an image and use it within their sentence), selecting a task and many more.
