Hello
The holidays have meant I'm out of the blogging habit. Now is a good time to look at where we and to concentrate on what is a significant year.
A reminder then of some of the course specifics.
GCSE Language
You have 3/4 Controlled Assessments completed for this and they are worth 40% of you overall grade. You have completed Of Mice and Men, Spoken Language (texting) and one of two creative writings. The other creative writing you are doing with Mrs Parish.
AQA have now removed the Speaking and Listening Elements, which means the exam is worth 60% of the overall grade.
There is one exam for this and it is 2h15mins long. This will also be your mock exam in Novemeber.
GCSE Literature
You have completed 25% with you Macbeth and Frankenstein essay. You will have two exams for this; one on LOTF and OMAM and one on Poetry.
So, in lessons we have been looking at the dark wonder that is Lord of the Flies. We have looked at the development of the characters, some themes and structure.
This is what you should have at the beginning of next week.

This is what you should have at the beginning of next week.
Checklist:
- Character profiles of Piggy, Ralph and Simon.
- A short essay on how Golding shows the power struggles in LOTF.
- A tension graph looking at how Golding uses structure to effect the reader. I am expecting you to use some of the stuff we used for incremental repetition in this. I am expecting this to take you a long time. If you find this is totally consuming, you can just include the incremental repetition. We'll then use this to make a glorious display on Tuesday (exciting!).
When we've looked at structure, we have a themes carousel.You'll do a Jack profile over your work experience. Then the last weeks of term will be a exam including a mock LOTF exam.
As ever, let me know if you have any problems.
