Year 7 Revision Booklet - Summer Term 2010 Outline Timetable (subject to slight changes) French Listening will take place in period 1 on Friday for all of Year 7. Revision times and French orals are also worked into the timetable. Here are some general points to help you with revision. 1. Know what is needed: Your subject teachers have produced these Revision Lists for you. They show which topics need to be learned. Use KEYWORDS and UNDERLINING to pinpoint weaker areas that need more study or practice. Check through your exercise books for any gaps, where work is unfinished or missing. Do this now so that photocopies can be provided. Do not leave this to the last minute! 2. Use your time sensibly. Believe it or not, work sessions of between 20 and 30 minutes are better than 2 hour slogs! It is good to go back over what you did the next day; your brain then retains information better. You may want to use a revision timetable: your Form Teacher or Tutor can help with this. Planning ahead is really important. 3. Make revision ACTIVE. Don’t just sit and read through your notes –DO SOMETHING! Write Key Words, use tape recordings, make essay plans, do sample questions, make mind maps or draw pictures –to help you remember. 4. Keep a balance. Make sure you have a balance between revision and relaxation. You also need to eat well and sleep well so that you can concentrate properly during Revision and Examination periods. 5. Don’t Panic! If you have done your best, then that is the most that can be asked of you! OR
How to Avoid Making Your English Teacher Cry Paper 1: The Comprehension
1. Read the passage/s at least twice. 2. Read the questions twice and make sure you answer the question ‘and nothing but 3. Answer in full sentences unless asked to do otherwise.
4. Never begin a sentence with a conjunction (and, but, because…)
5. Make sure your sentences are not too long otherwise your meaning will become
6. Do not use abbreviations (aren’t, it’s, doesn’t etc). 7. Use formal language: ‘The author writes about stuff’, will obviously bring tears to 8. Avoid writing vague, general statements: ‘The description of London really creates a picture in my head’. More tears from your poor, suffering English teacher. 9. For top marks always ensure you have a good PE when answering the questions. P
= Point. E = Example. Write down your point first and then back it up with an example. If you only make your point you will not get full marks: ‘The writer makes the house appear mysterious and sinister’ – half marks. ‘The writer makes the house appear mysterious and sinister because there is only one ‘dull light’ on when the girl first sees the house.’ – full marks. 10. Make sure you use quote marks correctly: use single inverted commas (‘serendipity’); place a comma or a colon (:) before you open inverted commas; do not quote large chunks of text (it’s a waste of your precious time); make sure the quote supports the point you are making; A-grade candidates manage to ‘weave’ a quote into their answer: ‘The one ‘dull light’ aglow creates a menacing atmosphere.’ 11. If you are asked to comment on setting and character (which you inevitably will be in a comprehension) then keep these two questions at the forefront of your mind:
‘What does the writer want me to feel towards this character/about this
setting?’ What words/images/pdf/figures of speech have they used which show
what the writer wants the reader to feel and think?
Paper 2: Creative Writing
1. Choose a title quickly. 2. Choose a descriptive/narrative/personal title that allows you to show off your 3. Plan quickly.
4. BME: Beginning, middle, end.
5. Think of an ending first.
6. Keep it simple: no unicorns, murders, monsters, three-headed aliens,
broomsticks, moving trees, fights with sharks, fights with giant bananas, disarming terrorist missiles with a toothpick, climbing Everest in a tutu…. 7. TLC: Time/Location/Character
8. Problem: something simple – you lose grandfather’s watch, you’re having a
brace fitted, you want to watch the match but you can’t, you’ve moved school, people are picking on your friend, you’re visiting ‘Aunt Marge’, you’ve had an embarrassing haircut, you’re lost on holiday, you don’t want to come back from your holiday… 9. ‘Show don’t Tell’: ‘Theseus went through the tunnel’ – not good! ‘Sweat poured
from Theseus’ furrowed brow as he inched nervously through the rancid-smelling, bone-strewn labyrinth’ – better. 10. Start your writing either with description, action or dialogue (double inverted commas, new speaker=new line, don’t overuse ‘said’) 11. Empathy writing: get inside your character’s head: ‘Theseus’ outward
confidence disappeared like the sunlight as he entered the death-black maze.’ 12. The Five Senses: of these sight and sound are the most important to the
13. When writing about setting and character have this question at the forefront of your mind: ‘What do I want the reader to feel at this point in my writing?’ Use the right sorts of words, images and figures of speech which will achieve this. 14. Make sure you finish with a good five minutes left in order to check:
Vocabulary; Does that word get across exactly what I mean? Have I used
‘suddenly’ too many times?) Meaning; is that a proper sentence or just a
phrase/subordinate clause? Do too many of my sentences start with the same
word/the subject? Punctuation: full stop there or a comma? Paragraphs: A
must; Spelling: try your hardest!
15. HANDWRITING: IT MUST BE YOUR NEATEST!
