To be successful, what ore could you be doing in addition to our school work just now???

Some suggestions:

• Re-reading 'An Inspector Calls' - each time you read a text you 'see' things you previously were blind to. You need to remember that the exam question could be on anything so you need to be very confident on understanding (particularly of implicit details) regarding: characterisation/ themes/ contextual knowledge/ knowledge of author and author's motivations/ capitalism and socialism/ key quotes/ good examples of language for effect/ key themes
• Read new poems and try to gather the gist of them (try on-line poetry sites or refer to a different section of your AQA Anthology) - what is the poem about/ who is the poem about?/ what are the main themes?/ what quotes are interesting and are contain a literary device?
• Re-read 'Of Mice and Men' - again the exam question/extract could be from any part of the text
• Write notes on different topics - this is a clear indicator of what you know and what gaps you have in your learning
