The class was divided up into groups were and provided with a section of the play. They had to create a poster with no more than 5 words and ten images and go to the different groups to be taught or to teach (depending on your role). After 5 mins they then had to return to their groups and teach each other what they had learnt.
Managing their learning in this manner really aids their recall: you remember 10% of what you read, 90% of what you teach!
