Ok guys, it's the final push.
Use this blog now to guide your revison.
By Monday's lesson you should have completed 3 hours of English Revision. It's actually very difficult for me to check up on this, however, you need to think about what you really want on that sunny August day when you come in to get your results. Working now is going to make you feel good on that day. So, to use MM's terminology, basically yeah, show you are mature and take responsibility for your own learning.
Here's what you should have completed for Monday's lesson (some of this was your Easter Homework too so you should be well on top of it. If you're not, have a word with yourself!).
- A completed Poetry Mock Exam
- A fully annotated Anthology, guided by the little pink booklet that you've been given.
- Four poems that you have selected to know really well (I will give you spot checks)
- At least six openings to exam questions using the AO1 and AO3 (comparison) skills that we worked on the other day.
- At least 30 minutes looking through the poems and all of the other English resources on Cherwell Online
Well done! You are very nearly there.

Hi miss, in the LOTF paper will one of the questions out of the two definately be on a character?
ReplyDeleteYes it will. It will be character, themes and setting. Remember, you need to link everything back to themes anyway so a secure understanding of themes will serve you well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Revision! Ms:)
ok thats good, thankyou.
DeleteWhen we write our poem exam, do we need any precise structure?
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the poems, but it would be a good idea to go with a paragraph about language and a paragraph about structure (obviously linked to question). Then one or two more (depending on length of paragraphs, but successful answers will have detailed analysis remember).
ReplyDeleteThen build to an evaluative conclusion that links to question.
Remind me to go through this in a lesson!
