11Y - revision

Hi gents, In today's lesson you were all given a Cheney Takeaway menu that will direct you to revision material on YouTube. Think about what areas you feel you need to work on and direct your revision in that direction. On Friday: we will be doing a Paper 1, Section A exam conditions test - implementing the Reading Non-Fiction skills we've been looking at in the last few lessons:

• following an argument


• differentiating fact and opinion


• commenting on linguistic devices


• commenting on presentational devices


• comparing and cross-reference

See you then, Mr Kirkaldy

Gents,

Some work I want you to do for tomorrow's lesson on 'Mother, any distance'. We will then look at an exam conditions essay that you will write in Friday's lesson.

1. Think of 2 ways in which holding the tape measure conveys something about the relationship between mother and son.
2. Lines 11 and 15 are very short and so they have an extra impact on the reader. Why - what is the impact?
3. The poem is in 3 stanzas. Copy and complete the chart showing how the 3 stanzas deal with different ideas:
