Yr 11 Revision ideas

While we’re not doing any real work in class this week, it’s a great opportunity to put your energies into revision. You have less than 2 weeks before the exams start. You need to go back over EVERYTHING!
To whit:
Area of Study – Changing Self
• Re-read Gatsby and notes
• Look back over the stimulus booklet and know your texts
• Re-read your related texts
• Find your chapters assessment task
The extended response for this section will focus on how composers present their ideas of Change in their texts.

Module A: Comparison of Texts
• Re-read Taming, and your notes.
• Read your notes for 10 Things (if you can, watch the film!)
• Find and read assessment task (feature article)
You question will ask you to consider how the texts are valued in their contexts, the similarities and differences between them, and the techniques used to convey messages.

Module B: Critical Study of Texts
• Know your poems
• Know your critics
• Know your readings
The question will probably focus on your knowledge of all these things, and ask you consider how meaning is created and understood though literature.
You should probably spend more time reminding yourself about the AoS and Module A, as Keats should be recent enough for you.

We’ll look in detail at the structure of the papers when the speeches are over. Or, you may like to look at the past papers on the Board of Studies website.
