English Revision in School
There are currently workshops and tuition sessions taking place on a Wednesday during lunchtime and after school:
1pm – Room 12 – Drop-in clinic – no appointment necessary. There will be opportunities to have a go at past paper questions, take part in ‘live marking’ exercises and ‘Class Writes’ or just ask questions about the exam.
3.20pm - Rooms 11 and 12 – Component 1 Workshop (by invitation only)
3.20pm – Room 7 – English literature (see Miss McDowall for details)
3.20pm – Room 20 – Media Studies NEA support and Educake English revision (see Mr Aoun)
Revision Homework
A whole year group Educake quiz will be set each week by Mr Keown. This should be done as part of your revision strategy and alongside any homework set by your English teacher. Each week, the quiz will be on a different aspect of the language or literature specification. Educake offers instant feedback and the opportunity to take tests multiple times. You can also identify areas on which you would like to focus and set quizzes for yourself.
Revision Guides
You will be issued with a CGP revision guide for each of the four components of the English literature exam:
An Inspector Calls/Blood Brothers
A Christmas Carol
Romeo and Juliet
Eduqas Poetry Anthology
Study of this guide should form part of your ongoing revision strategy. You may, for example, use the information in the guides to make Lietner style flash cards. The guides are useful to recap and revise content learned in Year 10. You are responsible for keeping your revision guides in serviceable condition and returning them to school after the exam.

Year 11 French Revision Ideas
Hi Everyone,
We have put together a variety of things to keep busy with.
- Ideally, you will look at everything in your red book and textbook regularly so that you don’t forget your vocabulary and grammar. Look at everything we have covered so far, right from the beginning!
- Attached are lots of documents for you to work through. Use https://www.wordreference.com/as an online dictionary (DO NOT USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE!)
- Record yourself saying your speaking test answers and listen to them as often as you can. You know hundreds of lyrics without even trying, so try to do the same with your answers!
- Go on https://www.languagesonline.org.uk/Hotpotatoes/frenchindex.html#Grammar practice grammar that you are not too keen on, or need some extra exercises in. It marks it instantly for you!
- Go onto the T Drive T:\Modern Foreign Languages\GCSE FRENCH\PAST EXAM PAPERS and email yourself some past papers - particularly for Listening. Each folder contains the Listening File, Question Paper and Mark Scheme.
- You could also use this website https://www.aqa.org.uk/find-past-papers-and-mark-schemes
We are doing the AQA exam – but you may also wish to look at other exam boards for some extra practise. Remember these papers may be in s slightly different format and some topics may be slightly different – but they are still a way to listen and read at the appropriate level.

Useful Websites
This website is wonderful for playing games! It teaches you the words and then tests you on them in a variety of ways. Click on Key Stage 4 French, and as we have to pay for this website, so it will need you to log on with these details: Username: bede1, Password: 5925
2) https://www.memrise.com/group/2722
You have probably already set up an account for this website, and we would also recommend you to download the app. The link above takes you to our Studio textbook games, but feel free to play any KS4 French games you come across!
3) https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/z9dqxnbThis website has SO much on it! You can practise listening, reading and learn lots of new French.
4) Another great app to download is Lyrics Training. Its FREE and you can listen to 3 songs every 30 minutes which is more than enough, without paying any subscription.
You can use it to improve your French listening and it uses YouTube songs! You can select different genres, pop, rock, rap even Disney songs! There are all the current top 40 videos in here! If you use the karaoke setting, you can just read the lyrics and listen to the song, but if you just select beginner, intermediate or advanced, it removes words of the song and gives you a multiple choice to fill it in again. It's amazing!
5) https://quizlet.com/join/RgKdt4nsN
Again, this website matches our Studio textbook, so have fun playing a few games!
As always, you are welcome to come to our Language Club on Monday and Thursday lunchtimes and Revision afterschool until 4pm on Tuesdays. Also, email us if you would like to practice something specific.
We are here for you and will do everything we can to help you succeed!
