Default GCSE English - Short stories, War poems, DOAS
 
Hi, ive been reading all these post on the forum, and i cant find anyone who is doing the same pieces as me. Im taking the exam from the OCR board, with 2 of the lit exams on Tuesday, and the things we are studying are:

Death of a Salesman - Arthur Miller

Short stores from different cultures (Opening Worlds) 2003-2008.

A selection of war poems, not sure of the book name, but it contains poems such as "The Deserter" and "The Send Off".

I was wondering if anyone else is taking these Pieces and knows where i can get revision for them, as bitesize or anywhere else i look doenst have them.
As the problem is , for the last 2 years when we have been studying the course, we have gone through 6, yes 6 Teachers all going off pregnant or quitting their jobs. For half even more of year 10, we just had supply teachers who just put on dvd's for some reason instead of even attempting to teach us anything. So im pretty ruined come to these exams, and im realy wanting an A. If anyone has any notes on any of the stuff, or revision pages it would be a great help.

Thanks in advance.
