Year 11
English exams are approaching what can you do?
Now is the time to be sorting out your revision timetable to make sure that you are practising the right skills for each paper. Refer to your English Department Revision Booklets to find lots of useful activities. If you have lost your booklet, please collect another from Mrs Watts.
Practise writing in timed conditions set your alarm for an hour and write your essay in this time, leaving 5 minutes for checking. Give it to a friend to mark what have you done well, what have you done incorrectly? Raise any issues you cannot resolve with your English teacher.
Make sure that you know when the exams are and which paper is on which day! Look at your exam statement to check this or ask your English teacher.
Keep reading newspapers, biographies, any non-fiction and learn those spellings in the back of your planner.
Attend after school classes, if you can.
Well done to all those who submitted excellent coursework and on time. Your hard work is much appreciated, but dont forget that the exams count for much more than the coursework, so keep up the momentum with lots of homework and lots of revision!
