About this deal
We distributed the booklet towards the start of the term, and we didn’t give out any other homework. The above revision techniques are easy to apply to literature topics, where there’s a clear body of knowledge to accompany each text, but they can seem less practical for the largely unseen texts and tasks of English language study.
This page from Geoff Barton contains various resources for GCSE English that he has put together from his own teaching over the years. Every Reading and Writing skill is clearly explained, and there’s a big focus on helping students develop their exam skills throughout the book. pdf\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Daily Planner\">Day Planner\n
You will be asked to find four specific bits of information (such as a description of something) from a specific part of the text. They should take the opportunity to read and annotate, plan their responses and answer longer questions as part of their revision. At my school we decided to offer 12 bespoke lectures for students to attend every Thursday afternoon, from January onwards. Available on all major podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Breaker and more.
This set of skills-focused resources lets pupils test their skills at analysing poems, pieces of writing and more.Not just tomorrow, or next week, but during the mock, the actual exam in summer and any time after that. You will get a choice of two questions – either writing a descriptive piece based on a picture, or writing part of a story on a given topic. To do well in this question we recommend spending the first 5 minutes thinking deeply about the task and planning your answer.
