Can anyone explain to me what Young Enterprise actually is? :confused:


Er, when it was done at my school, it was basically the planning, creation and trading of a small business. You'd be in small groups and think of an original idea e.g. card-making, then create a market plan and identify your audience, how you'll get/make the product, where and when you'll sell it etc. THEN you'd actually do it. The biggest profits made last year won the team a prize. However, my school doesn't do it anymore... Hope this is easy enough to understand! :biggrin:

Makes sense, thanks! :biggrin:
OK, I think it's fair to say that I've revised now :smile: How is everyone else doing in their revision?

I've given up.

What subjects were you revising? :smile:
Also, does anyone have any notes for any of Seamus Heaney's poems which they can upload and send to me? I was ill when we were going through them in class so revision is proving to be quite tough for these poems :frown:

:yep: English is the way forward.
This is going to be a big ask but you know for English Lit. words like Assonance, Enjambment,, Phatic Language, Alliteration etc. does anyone know any document listing around 20-30 of these with definitions? Or even 15 would be good. If not could someone type a well rounded batch so we can all learn from them?

I'm not sad if no one cares, just saying because I only know around 5 at the moment.
Is everyone from this thread going to move to the yr 12 thread? I hope so even though I'm not a frequent poster I feel I have grown to love this thread some of you guys make me feel hopeful that I can achieve my grades, i have some great laughs and if im stuck i come straight to here, and it also the best procrastinating tool. But seriously is everyone coming on to the new yr 12 thread; I certainly am

I'm going to sound really thick here but...

What does the word "bevel" mean? The line of a poem goes:
The line of its pressure ran like a bevel

Did you drop it (i.e. already done the GCSE) or just choose not to do the GCSE. My german translation:

Hast du er verlassen, oder nur wahlte dir das GCSE nicht machen. (See that sexy mix of perfect past tense and imperfect past tense - just needed a bit pf pluperfect and it would have been immense)


couldn't take it as it did not fit in with my option blocks :frown:
