WJEC AS English Literature - 16th May

My other teacher had told me about that structure (I discredited it as her teaching is not too great) but I'm not particularly sure about it as it looks really convoluted and for an hour that doesn't look like it will be enough.

Kindertransport: My teacher stresses the importance of context linking back to the question and not just being irrelevant context to actually fulfil A04. I saw Kindertransport in theatre as well and the main thing to note is the lighting and the symbols e.g. polishing of the glass... However I'm yet to find any lighting in the actually script!

I'm really scared about timing. Have they given us an hour to write because they want well constructed answers that have great expression or is it because they want us to write as much as possible in the time given? Normally for History our 30 markers are one minute per mark and now English are giving me an extra 30 minutes. I would have thought that 30 minutes would be used to think up about great analysis and how to express it.

Does anyone have any predictions as to what could come up for dancing at lughnasa? and poetry section, regarding Duffy? :/

on average how long should the essay be?
as I keep running out of time from writing too much

Doing Plath and Hughes! Anyone else doing Arcadia?
...I'm so unprepared for this exam!!

I'm doing Arcadia too! What do you think of it? We did a mock of last year's paper a few weeks back and I really liked the questions, but that probably means that this year it'll be something awful

Wow, someone else in the Universe who does it! Our teacher has his bets on either 'teaching' or 'gardens' coming up.... Don't mind gardens but teaching :|||||| my teacher's a really harsh marker and I have 0 confidence, however my other teacher said that because it's a hard and unpopular play (some people do it at A2) examiners can be nicer marking it - hopefully!!!

I wouldn't mind scientific ideas - what do you want to come up?

Haha ngl never heard of it before we studied it! We were lucky and got to see it in a theatre near where we live a few weeks ago. Dear god teaching?!? I agree though, gardens would be fine. Personally I quite like science and maths but that came up last year... Classicism or romanticism would be good too. Not character studies aha! God I hope that's true, it really is a confusing play! How are you revising?

Did you go to Bristol???? I did too!!! I would hate romanticism!
I'm doing plans of what I'd say with essay titles, and I bought the dramatised audio file from iTunes so have been listening to it on repeat! How have you been revising?

Anyone else doing Heaney/Sheers have any ideas about what's coming up? I was thinking maybe something politics related as that hasn't been up for a while.

The questions for the both poetry and drama were fair and it was a dream to see the choice between death and relationships for Plath and Hughes. Hopefully I did well enough to get an A
