RepeatsRepeats

This week sees the repeat examinations for GCSE English. Good luck to those taking the examination. Remember that Paper 1 requires a clear head, detailed answers and excellent expression. Make sure you have a text book to look over the night before to remind yourself of the kind of things the mark scheme is looking for. Next week's Paper 2 is the one you need to revise for, Poetry from Other Cultures. Make sure you read, read and read the poems again in your anthology, Cluster One OR Cluster Two. Good revision materials for both papers are available on BBC BiteSize. Anyone who needs to resit for June, MUST make a solid arrangement for revision work/repeat coursework with Grainne Tobin. Remember that success in repeats means that YOU have to commit the time to improve the grade.
