Teaching High School English Resources: The Tempest Guide for Students By Students

I found this study guide created by the students of John Marshall High School's gifted and talented programme. It's a good one for revising and revisiting the story.

I like that they've got a small section for illustration, a short summary of each act and scene, followed by a comprehension question, a grammar question and a discussion question. Very holistic!

Study Guide prepared by students of John Marshall High School

This could be used as an extension activity for students to fill in and answer throughout the year. I'd print a booklet for each student and it would be something for them to fill in and keep as a study guide.
