Hello Y11
Right, I hope we're getting back into the swing of things now. We are half way through out Lord of the Flies course so you should have a fairly solid understanding of the text and its messages.
A couple of things that really stand out from the examiner's report (after every exam there is a comment on how it went)
- Write a lot about a little. This is key advice and something we have been working on throughout the GCSE course.
- Focus on theme/message and not on content. Again -- do NOT tell the story.
You should have read the book at least once by now. If you haven't, this is urgent and you need to sort it out. I'll upload the PowerPoints we've worked on in class.
Let me know if you have problems.
Ms Caldwell
Hi miss i don't understand how our english language gcse is set out, i thought speaking and listening counted for something or is it just controlled assessment and exam? Also could you try and post the powerpoints up, that would really help. Thankyou.
ReplyDeleteHello, I have a sheet that was handed out at parents' evening that I will give to you. This explains the two GCSEs. Briefly, yes Speaking and Listening counts for 20% of your English Language GCSE (the rest 40% Controlled Assessment and 40% exam). The sheet will help you understadn this.
ReplyDeleteI will post the PowerPoints, and was indeed my plan for Friday, but my computer is out of action so I may have to do this tomorrow.
Best wishes,
Ms
