Year 11 English

Language There are two sections to this paper: non-fiction reading and writing.

1. Pay close attention to class discussions of the skills that are required

2. Ensure that practice exercises are completed to the best of your ability

3. Think carefully about the errors you make in practice to ensure that you learn from the experience.

You can practise these skills at home by reading articles from magazines etc and then thinking carefully about them in terms of the exam requirements;

Can you rewrite the content of a couple of paragraphs, reducing the length in terms of words, without losing the meaning?

Can you identify the presentational features in the article and how they work?

Can you identify the tone created and how the writer’s use of language achieves this?

A crucial aspect in completing the writing task successfully is writing accurately in terms of spelling, punctuation and grammar. You can practise this by writing short passages (15-20 minutes) at home and then carefully checking them for accuracy. Literature

1. Animal Farm

reread the text and be sure that you fully understand the story

make sure you have notes on each of the characters, on themes and on the writer’s technique

make sure that you understand how to write TQE / PEE paragraphs. Practise these, remembering to focus on the EXPLANATION as this is where the most marks are.

2. Poetry

make certain that you understand the poems you have done with your teacher.

make certain that you understand the poetic technique and the technical terms used in each poem and how that technique creates meaning / mood / tone.

make sure you understand how to write TQE / PEE paragraphs. Practise these remembering to focus on the EXPLANATION as this is where the most marks are.

2. Listening:

Students listen to 10 conversations/interviews/lectures and answer a set of comprehension questions linked to what they hear.

Students are advised to read as widely as possible in the next few weeks. They should review all exercises and assessments completed in class as part of the revision process. This includes all grammar exercises completed in their notebooks and workbooks. Mrs Kennedy is available every day at break and after school.
