Achieving the A*

All - I've updated TT with a video about how to achieve the A* for writing - it's in the Writing skills playlist - www.youtube.com/user/cheneytakeaway Have a look - even if you aren't aiming for the A*, there is still some useful stuff here, with advice and examples. See you! Mr Boulter

Link to AQA site and TARGETING REVISION

All - here's a link to the bit of the AQA website which stores the past papers for English Language. http://www.aqa.org.uk/index.php?763&tx_rgtabs_pi1%5BshowAsFirst%5D=2 It's got a good few examples from over the last few years; unfortunatley it doesn't have much on Paper 1 Section A due to copyright - the only paper it has is the one about the police that we did for mocks. Still worth revisiting this though. One further thought - lots of you are using Takeaway Teacher and linked resources to revise. My advice is to make sure that you revise in a TARGETED way, which means that you are choosing to revise and work on the areas which you need to improve. You need to look back to your mock exam analysis and feedback and consider the following: - which areas of the exam did you do less well on, and which resources will help you to improve these areas? - Do you need more work on Reading Skills or Writing Skills (there are playlists for each on TT)? - What were the targets that I set you, and what targets did you set yourself as a result of the year 11 mocks? What can you do to act on these targets? Have fun and see me if you want further help, Mr Boulter http://www.youtube.com/user/CheneyTakeaway

Essay feedback

Hi all,
Here's your essay feedback, to go with the sheets I gave you in class. Please watch and take notes.
When you've done that, in Friday's lesson you need to use the website www.wix.com/teacherinmypocket/english to revise - I would suggest that you start with one of the Other Cult poems, but then move on to the Writing Skills or Lit Poetry.
For each video, you should aim to get at least 5 key points down - don't try to make notes on everything, but pick out the points that you hadn't previously considered or found particularly interesting / useful.
