Revision 3 (inc sentence accuracy)

Hello Y11

This is our final week of lessons before the exam season begins.

We are really nearly there!

Your revision should have a focus on the modern texts exam (2 hours of revision and then AT LEAST one hour language work).

So, some general advice for the exam that came up from our mock papers.

1.       Plan your work. Think, ‘what’s the most significant thing that happens linked to this question or this extract?’ Then plan, with a quote being the basis of your paragraphs.  This will help you maintain focus.

2.       Have clear topic sentences. What is your paragraph about?

3.       Extend your language and structure analysis with an analysis of how it links to themes.

4.       You can pretty much learn the section B of the OMAM paper. Research the context and write about it. Remember the carousel lesson we did? That’s a good basis, but you can find out more specific details.

Your revision should be:

• ·         Write a 45 minute timed essay answering: What do you think is the importance of Ralph in LOTF and how does Golding present him?
• Complete the OMAM exam with your personalised targets. 
• ·         Research the historical context of OMAM. Make revision cards with keys points. Then write out a response for

-          How does Steinbeck use Curley’s wife to convey ideas about America in the 1930s?

-          How does Steinbeck use Crooks to convey ideas about America in the 1930s?

• ·         Look through the sentence accuracy PPt. Then write an article for a newspaper arguing for or against a free bus travel for under 18s. (Don't forget the structures we have used too!)

Bring these to the lesson on Thursday and put them on the desk when you get in to class. Prize for the most effort, C3 for those who don’t...

Comment if you are stuck. Ms :)
