This is useful for everyone: Year 12, we have finished Language and Gender now, so it's all down to you. https://aggslanguage.wordpress.com/gender-interaction-theory-%E2%80%93-holmes-tannen-cameron-defrancisco/ This is a really useful post on a blog I've recommended before. You certainly don't need to learn all of this, but it's useful background / wider reading - especially for those aiming for those higher grades.
Year 13 - this may be a nice way to ease yourself into your gender revision. We'll be coming on to this after Easter.

Year 13 Homework and wider reading
Homework due for Tuesday 28th February is to analyse the Scooby Doo texts (available in the google drive if you missed the lesson). Apply everything you have learnt so far about literacy to the texts. Create a table of AO1 features that you have found (remember, you still need to label and use terminology) and link those features to an AO2 concept that we have learnt.
Some wider reading is available on the google drive in the Literacy folder. Also, I recommend this: Michael Rosen summary for a really good overview of the issues surrounding phonics teaching in schools. It's quite detailed, but for those hoping for a really top grade, it's very valuable.
There's also this that you can watch: Phonics screening video
You don't have to watch all of it (it gets a little repetitive!) but it's a great way to understand the system of phonics at work in schools, and good revision for some key terms, like phonemes, alien words, digraphs and split digraphs.
Lastly, there will be an essay to do straight after half-term, so going over your notes would be really useful and revising some of the key terms. Get those mind-maps and flashcards sorted now. You'll be thanking me in June!

Y13 Aiming for an A or an A*?
There is a summary of an article I've read recently on the Google drive. This is the link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0n14k4_2wH8a1dpN3pVWG11Z1E
It's a useful overview of where linguists currently are in the nature / nurture debate. Enjoy!
