Antony And Cleopatra

From Akadimias Educational Software comes a practical revision aid for students preparing for Secondary Level Examinations. This is a man-driven program which contains six units based upon Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra! Each unit tackles a different aspect of the set text, e.g. Plot, Background, Imagery, etc and contains 120+ questions and answers. The questions have been devised by University lecturers and are very comprehensive. The program offers Revision, Sequential and Test Modes and each has four time/skill levels to introduce a games element. The aim is to reinforce both cognitive, analytical and discursive skills but is not intended as a substitute for reaching or discussion. The structure is extremely thorough and the game's element livens up a rather 'dry' format but, apart from that, little real use seems to have been made of the computer.

Nevertheless, this will undoubtedly be of considerable value to students using this set text, although it must be noted that for the price you could probably buy several good revision books!
