Year 12 homework for half-term

Set Thursday 22nd October. Due Thursday 5th November. 

Analyse the article about Nadiya Hussein. You can do this with the paper version I have given you, or you can use this online version, then print it out: Nadiya article

I don't anticipate that you will all be able to answer all of the questions but I'd like you to have a go. At least try labelling some of the language, using the new terminology that we have learnt. Some of you may be able to think about the effects of this language on the reader.

Super extension - are there any features of language that I haven't commented on, that you think are noteworthy?

Year 12 Homework - Grammar Revision Thursday 24th September

Your homework this week is to revise some grammar terms in preparation for our learning next week. Most of these are terms that you should already know from your GCSE study, but some of them may be new to you. We will go over them in class, but you need to have done this activity first.

Below is a link to a set of revision cards on Quizlet:

Grammar Quiz

You need to revise these terms ready for a test on Thursday 1st October. You have a week to learn the terms (there are different activities you can do to learn them) and I expect you to be confident in them all. Having a quick look at them is not enough - you need to get close to 100% correct!
