This is from a series of posters I made for revision of the characters in Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. They each display quotes and comments that would be useful to practise analysis techniques while reading the novel. This poster is of Hector MacQueen.

Your purchase includes the complete poster in two formats: PDF and jpeg. It also includes three other versions of the poster: traits-only; picture-only; quotes-only. The character traits are in red and serve as the ‘point’ in a PEE/PEAS/PETER response, while the quotes in black serve as the ‘evidence’.

Suggested uses:

• Using the complete poster, ask students to link each comment to given themes of the novel, and/or expand on the comments to explain the significance of each trait;
• Display the traits-only poster and have students find evidence for each one;
• Display the quotes-only poster and have students identify the trait being evidenced;
• Print out in A5, along with other characters, to produce individual revision booklets;
• Print out in A4 or A3 for display boards;
• Print out the picture-only version and use it as a group exercise to fill in independently.

Other characters available are Hercule Poirot, Colonel Arbuthnot, Countess Andrenyi, Mary Debenham, Mr Ratchett, Princess Dragomiroff, Greta Ohlsson, Mrs Hubbard, and Antonio Foscarelli.
