A text for the weather!

As snow still lingers across Britain into April, it only seems appropriate that the next revision study plan from Crossref-it.info is on Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale! This text strikes balance between cold / decay and the restoration / hope of spring and summer to come. Bring it on!

Help at hand

The app covers all sorts of areas:

> Easy multiple choice questions so that you can be confident you’re familiar with the play

The revision app tells you how you’ve done and gives you the chance to try again if you get something wrong, pointing you in the right direction to find the correct answer.


> Directed note-making on important aspects of each scene

It’s like having your own personal teacher, shining a light onto the key points you need to think about.


> Useful essay questions on character, narrative and theme, with examples of how you might answer

From this point of the academic year onwards, you need to gather together all the strands of what you’ve learnt and weave them into coherent arguments. The app shows you how (and for more advice about essay and exam writing, check out the ‘How to..’ section at Crossref-it.info).
