Dear Year 11
Remember you need to revise:
*Sheila/Gerald/Eric - click to go to the AIC blog post.
*Candy/Crooks/Curley's Wife - click to go to the OMAM blog post.
90 minutes = 2 x 45 minute essays.
15 minutes planning and finding quotes.
30 minutes writing up 6 PEA.
Don't forget for OMAM that the examiner wants you include CONTEXT - how do the quotes show what life and attitudes were like in 1930s America?
It is ESSENTIAL that you know your targets. Make sure you know which targets you were set from your December mock.
Hi Year 11,
On Wednesday 26th of February you will do your second complete Exploring Modern Texts mock.
The first one you did in December (Inspector Goole and an extract about Curley/Lennie).
You did well - now it is time to revisit and deepen.
LOADS of extra help, videos, brainstorms, key quotes are on the individual blog posts for Of Mice and Men and An Inspector Calls.
