2. The Quotation Bank
You know its important to include quotations as evidence in your essay
You know that you should try to include at least one per paragraph
But where do they come from?

3. Plucked from the sky like a little snowflake?
Probably not

4. If quotations are like coins
then you need to put them into a bank, or to extend a little, you need to put them into a series of accounts (or banks, or pots, if you want!)
You need to keep these coins organised, so you can make them work best for you. Its very important that you only use the quotes which are RELEVANT to the question and your line of thought.

5. Savings Accounts
You need to set up a few accounts, lets say, but how could these be named so that you know which one to dip into in a time of need?
Here are some suggestions:
Character development
Relationship between two characters
Themes
Setting(s)
Imagery (closely related to Themes!)
Symbols

6. Learn em!
Just as you would keep an eye on your savings accounts, you need to keep an eye on your quotesat first this will take some time, but as time goes on, youll find it easier and easier to remember them:
Try look and copy first, until you remember them perfectly
Make a recording of the quotes you have selected, and play them back to yourself
Have a quote-off duel (with or without wands, your choice)

7. Do this, not that (because you love being told what to do!)

8. Off to the bank!
Your challenge:
In pairs, you will take on one of the accounts
Using your notes on Macbeth, Dulceet decorum est, Fern Hill, and Childhood, prepare a bank of quotations which could be used in an exam essay
These will need to be complete by the end of tomorrows lesson, so you need to get cracking!

9. Tips & Further Instructions
Divide your page in two:
Put a heading at the top, such as Characterisation or Character Development here:

10. Last tips:
Remember to provide line/page numbers so you can find them again later
Quotations should be no longer than TWO LINES of verse or TWELVE WORDS of prose.
Short phrases or even single words can be effective
Choose only quotations that make complete sense
