How much of the songs of ourselves poetry anthology have you looked at? We looked at it about a year ago then my teacher lost our books an anthology's. Now were stick with finding out our own research or looking at some other girls notes that did the exam last year! We did a mock for our songs of ourselves in February and gave us a copy of the anthology the day before and told us to "learn it" for the next day.

How does everyone revise poems? Do you just read over/make notes?

Hi I am doing Silas Marner and Songs of Ourselves too, but The Tempest is my drama instead. What kind of revision have you done for them? As I have done none so far, and now I'm having a mini panic aha

Im doing the tempest as well but i don't know how i should be revising. I just read my book over and over. Probably not the most effective way.

Anyone doing Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde?

Yes I am.
I've got my language exam on the 5th May. :frown:

Does anyone have any tips for Question 1? I'm really nervous about this question.

I think it went great for me! Looking towards getting an A or maybe even an A* come august! Good luck though!
Hiya,

For language my school does the option of 50% coursework and 50% exam. If I have full marks in the coursework, what mark do I need in the 0500 exam in order to score an A*?

Thanks

Sorry, I'm doing Hardy poetry, stories of ourselves and All My Sons

Best of luck :smile:
I reckon I did badly on Q1! :frown: maybe 8/20 or less
On Q2 I did okay, maybe 7/10:smile:
But I aced Q3. Maybe 17/20

I was suggested 27 markes for an A and my markes would = 32

But knowone knows... Did you all find question 1 difficult? the seccond bullet point really tripped me up!
Same here James, I was so confused for Q1 but the others were alright :smile:
