One down!

Congratulations - you're halfway there!

Remember to book a time with me to sort out any questions or have me mark some of your practice essays for discussion and revision.

Meantime:

  • For A Man For All Seasons, use the questions at the back of the book to focus your study.  Knowing those answers will put you in a strong position to respond to the exam questions.
  • For both drama texts, review your course book!  It offers valuable information about analysing drama texts on pages 102-127, and takes a targeted look at exam questions on p253-254.


Study well!

New Resource Links

Hi everyone,


To the right you'll notice a "Further Support" link list.  The class exemplars link will show you PDFs of essay responses from a few of our students from 2013.  The question being addressed is in regard to A Passage To India.

Additionally there are a few support documents I found from Cambridge which I think you'll find useful.  The Example Candidate Responses PDF unfortunately does not answer questions related to any of our set texts (sad panda), yet some of the poems will be familiar from last year's study, and it should still serve as a guide for us in terms of what examiners will be looking for.  Examiner Comments follow at the end of each essay in that PDF.

Let me know if you have any further questions, would like to meet or would like more practice questions!
