Afternoon all – Like every year, I'm starting to get a lot
of requests from parents (and students) for past papers, mark schemes, exemplar
answers and the like. This year I thought I’d save everyone a lot of time and
point everyone to the publicly accessible part of the Edexcel website, where
you should be able to find all of these, and more. A word of warning though –
the site isn't the easiest to navigate, so just remember that you need to look
at the resources under “Unit 2 – The Writer’s Voice – 5EN2H. (I've just checked
and noticed that there are two of these headings – open the second one for all
the really good stuff). If you are in 11x1 or 11y1 you will be completing the
higher paper, and the exam is Unit 2 of the course (you've already completed
units 1 & 3), and you only need to worry about the ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’
questions in the first section (and the writing section, obviously).
Hopefully this will be all you need, but if you run out of
past papers or exemplar answers then come and see me; there are a few kicking
around the department that I'm not allowed to host here (because they’re still
in copyright).
If any parents would like to be added to a mailing list to
notify them when the English blog updates, then you can let me know your email address here. ( The first five pupils on that list will immediately become ClubClass members, so there's an incentive to show your folks...)
I’ll update tomorrow with a few things to remember before
the exam; don’t worry though, it’s nothing we haven’t done in class.
Finally, I'm still a little unsure about hosting an
anonymous markbook, but loads of you seem to be quite keen. I’ll put it to a
vote, which you can find on around the top right of your screen.
