A really helpful resource with a series of open questions designed to get students thinking about different aspects of a set text or narrative. The key aspects that the questions explore include:

  • time
  • setting and places
  • plot, journey and destination
  • voices/narrator
  • characters
  • openings and beginnings
  • structure
  • moments of crisis/key events
  • themes.

The resource could be used in an introductory sense before beginning a text and/or for revision purposes. It lends itself well to being used for group work too.
