Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIPoetry itself isn't tough - did you see the video I posted a few days ago about analysing unseen poetry? You can use that method throughout if it helps, and it should make more sense that going into it blindly. I just try and come up with my own extra layers of meaning rather than the ones my teacher gives us, because they're more personal to me so I'm more likely to be able to remember them without having to revise.(Original post by Dalek1099)
Is it tough?because I need a little into an A* to get an A* in Literature(55/60 UMS).How do you revise?-I can't find an Edexcel Poetry revision guide
.
Shame you're on Edexcel, I can't help with any of the poems.
Would this help or is it the wrong specification? -

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIThe problem is it is the anthology and nothing else-I need a proper revision guide.I have that Poetry video saved on my Youtube and will watch it,closer to the exam.(Original post by Pandora.)

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIAccording to the description, it has sample questions and examiner tips in it, which is more than I can say for my AQA anthology.(Original post by Dalek1099)

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark III have it and it was incredibly useful!(Original post by Pandora.)

All the poems are annotated for me, and it has info about themes etc
But I did the controlled assessment, not the exam. -

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark III've done one hour of chemistry today (12am-1am). I think I'll do 2 out of 4 units of physics (all we've learnt in class so far) and maybe start B3.(Original post by CharlieBoardman)
Lucky you! -.-

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIHmm, thanks for the heads up!(Original post by Caz.123)
I saw it last night. I didnt think the 3d really added much but its definitely a lot better seeing it on the big screen rather than home on TV. Its very long though, went to 7.30 showing and didnt leave screen until 11.10!
I think 3D can either be a gimmick or a genuine improvement (like Avatar for example). Not sure which one this Titantic one fits into haha! -

I can do Maths late at night, infact, I think my brain works mathematically better at night. But i have to do sciences in the day. -

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark III find it much more easier to revise when no one is in the house / everyone is sleeping.(Original post by CharlieBoardman)
