Page Turner: A Literary Resource

Hello,

I have quite a few ‘work in progress’ resources and I am going to try to finish some of them and add them to app.

My subject is English – and so I thought it might be nice to add some resources to the app specifically for the teaching of prose, poetry and drama.

One idea I have been working on is ‘Page Turner’.

It is a very simple resource and I think it could be useful as a starter or plenary activity – or perhaps as part of a revision session… or even for a reading group.

The idea is that the teacher decides which section of the novel, poem or play they would like to focus on. So, in a novel, this could be pages 35 to 60.

The resource will then allocate a task and also a page number for each of the teams. The teams would have a couple of minutes to complete their task and then feed their ideas back to the class for further discussion.

There is no ‘competitive’ aspect to the resource as yet – but perhaps I could add a feature whereby the teacher could allocate points based on the response and the discussion generated?

As ever, all feedback will be very much appreciated.

Also, it would be great if teachers could suggest tasks to fill the ‘library’ – we would need tasks for novels, tasks for poems and tasks for drama.

Thanks,
