That's it... you did it!

Hi folks,

Well that's English done. Congratulations!

The paper looked good to me. I'm sure you all showed it who's boss!

Good luck in your remaining exams and whatever's next. Keep up the hard work and enjoy a well deserved long summer!

I hope to see some of you next year for more Lit in the 6th form.

Final reminder: Question 4

Hi,

Just one final word about the language paper tomorrow.

The document below outlines my advice on how to structure your response to question 4. But please remember, although this approach involves starting with effects, you still have to compare the ways in which the two writers use language.

So...

Make sure that you do the following (at least):

• compare how the writers use words/phrases for effect (analyse)
• compare how the writers use simile/metaphor/comparisons
• compare examples of short/long/list-like sentences + comment on effect
• try to find an example of how sound contributes to effect (eg. alliteration, assonance etc)

You should find and highlight interesting language features as you read so that you can concentrate on structuring your comparative response. Don't start writing until you know what you're going to compare in terms of language and effects.

Best of luck.

If you have any further questions, comment or tweet.
