Easter jobs, and that

Here are a few resources to help you out while you are completing revision notes on all of the main characters, and the themes. I know you can use Google and all, but still. First up is sparknotes – accessible and informative; I know a boatload of you have used this before. BBC Bitesize is also a classic, too.  One you might not know about is Universalteacher – this has great advice about writing about Shakespeare (don’t introduce your quotes!), but make sure you ignore the stuff about the exam and codes and stuff right at the top. Any problems, drop me a line and I’ll reply sooner than you think (I reply to kid emails as soon as I get them, unless you have chosen to boot yourself off the list…).

I’ll put up some paper 1 reading stuff around this time next week, although between now and then, have a look at what Geoff Barton says is some of the best writing on t’interweb. Have a nice Easter!

Oh, and the first person to email in and tell me what the picture is, and what book it relates to wins a tasty confectionery item of their choice – GUARANTEED.

If you need the link for the questions I have set - you can find them here. I'm doing this on my computer (not my work one), so if anyone wants to post the helpful links in the comments below then you'll win all sorts of prizes. (By all sorts of prizes I mean anything I can pinch off McDermott's desk). Any probs - let me know via email; because I'm a friendless loser they come through to my phone, so you'll often get a response quicker than you think. In other news, Pickin and Lawrence win the Y1 speed awards, with some frankly spiffing answers from the pair of them. Finally, have a picture of my dog reading a book. You're welcome.

Reading practice - WOOOOOOOO

I've spoken to you at length about how the reading section was a bit weaker than the writing section in the mock - but not to worry, as it is easy to fix with a bit of practice. Click here for the first of much reading practice - just make sure you understand the difference between the 'why' question and the 'how'.
Tips - for the 'Why' question use lots of short quotes, from all over the text. For the how question, use the S /M/ L model - if you aren't sure about this then give me a shout and I'll go over it again.
I'll collate the answers on Thursday at 4pm, so get it done before then or you'll go down as not having done it.
