Heroes revision game
Ideal for students at either KS3 or KS4 who are studying the novel Heroes by Robert Cormier, this revision game gives opportunities to refresh knowledge and broaden understanding of the novella. Based on the Blockbusters game, the resource has a range of revision-style activities for students to pick and complete to extend their analysis of the text.
Activities include those on contextual reinforcement, as students research the background and important social events that serve as a foundation to the text. Students can also revise characters, important aspects of plot, and how major themes interweave through the novella.
Key features of this resource

Students can work across the 'board', diagonally, or in any way they choose to get as many sections coloured in and completed. This resource can be used in class competitions with time limits to bring a more competitive edge to revision time.
