Today's lesson as promised....
The lesson from today. Here is the link to the document. If you missed today's lesson, this is excellent revision for you. Note down exactly what you are required to do in each question - this does not change and will be the same in the summer. i.e. Q2 always asks you to look at source 2 and analyse presentational features.
Top tips
Remember, just a little more that an minute a mark. 8 mark question should take about 10 mins... Especially do not spend too long on the first one in section A.
Use a range of sentences in Section B - write down the all the punctuation marks you know in your plan and use them.
Put things, especially rhetorical devices, in the room in your head in your mind's eye!
Good luck!

Clauses and Colons
Hello Y11
Revision should be in full swing now... I've uploaded this, which we did at the beginning of Y10, as a useful revision of sentence structures - wow -so many sentences to choose from!
It is quite a long presentation as it is a few lessons in one. You have to practice this; it is sometimes easier to start with the structure rather than the idea particularly if you are stuck.
Finally, it is not easy to try and make these sentences fun, but I have tried.
