I'm currently the head of English and raising standards leader at a secondary school in Birmingham. I'm passionate about my subject and passionate about ensuring that the young people we serve leave education with a high competency in English. Prior to teaching I worked in the radio industry as a presenter for 7 years and so when I became a teacher I enjoyed the opportunity to teach Media studies. You'll find hundreds of English and Media studies resources.

Jekyll & Hyde  exam revision QUIZ CARDS with answers - retaining knowledge for new spec 9-1 revision

Jekyll & Hyde exam revision QUIZ CARDS with answers - retaining knowledge for new spec 9-1 revision

(0)
3 pages of quiz cards for Jekyll and Hyde to use as part of revision with answers. Each question has a quotation and requires students to: 1. identify who said it 2. identify a technique used by Stevenson 3. Answer a deeper question relating to the effect of the technique When printed off and photocopied back to back each card will have the answer on the reverse. I use these in folders (as shown in the image attached) and students spend the first 5-10 mins of certain lessons revising silently. Every correctly answered question moves a step back in the folder. Any question answered incorrectly moves back to the front. This is known as the Leitner method for retaining knowledge as part of regular testing. The Leitner method dictates which sections of the folder should be revised. The rota for his is also attached.
