Quotation Quizlets

~ tjelcock ~ Leave a comment

These Quizlets feature quotations from Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls and the Power and Conflict poetry cluster. My recommendation is to save them to your favourites on your phone and practise them a little bit each day – it’s ideal for a few minutes revision while you’re waiting for the bus, and is a much easier and more effective way to revise than trying to cram in loads at the last minute!

If you don’t like the format that these Quizlets are in, then search for others on the Quizlet site: there are lots of alternatives available. Or, even better, make your own (a good revision exercise in itself)!

Remember to revise actively: make notes and flashcards, draw out tables and diagrams, answer practice questions – don’t just sit back and expect it all to sink in!
