The Booklet

know what to write

different topics. And tricks to get through the
question easier e.g. Go for 5
The traffic lights checklist

revise that I never knew about
mind maps and previous candidates work so we can
see what we have to do
the booklets are useful, it will help me to
revise and to look back on and get techniques to
revise
4
how it breaks down the different parts of English
the memory tips in the booklet.
firstly I can learn and learned to plan
structure my work to get marks. Found lots of
devices used in essays poems for e.g. similes
the book is very helpful and I have learnt that I
need to set up a plan at the start of the exam
5
mind mapping, vocab, basic knowledge opened my
eyes how to achieve a C in my English GCSE
got a lot of useful tips with revision which is
good for me as Ive never known what things would
suit me to remember things
the key word banks, Mnemonics
6
it has each area of the exam, and gives you step
by step learning and examples
has everything we need in it, mnenomics,
vocabulary, Glossary, flirts, P.E.E, brain
demonstration
it has different techniques I would never
normally use
I think they are really helpful with my revision
because it shows how to plan out the essay and
techniques to help
7
Even better if
More than a day to go over it
if we had longer
Nothing, was brilliant!
8
The sessions
mind maps, planning can get marks, topic
sentence, Marks, highlighting to follow an
argument
was that the topics were things that we were
interested in e.g. music (rehab)
everyone got involved
9
taught me how to plan, picture key ideas in text,
where weaknesses are
that we were talking in small groups a lot,
things were broken down, we didnt sit and did
stuff
I found new tips for revision, help me know what
I must include when comparing 2 poems, help me to
plan, working in a group
10
variety of activities that were used were not
boring, and made useful information sink in
I like doing the group work on imagery everybody
was able to get involved. There werent the same
people answering questions
using the Amy Winehouse song to look at following
an Argument, using a cartoon of Pete Doherty to
describe,
11
FLIRT good technique
F.L.I.R.T.S planning topic sentences
the demonstrations we took part in, the Amy
Winehouse song to help with finding main points,
mnemonics
learning about topic never knew anything about it
before
12
discussions group work on big paper. Gave
different revision techniques relevant to all
subjects
Sign post sentences / topic sentences how to plan
Importance, imagery
Learnt all about my sentences paragraphing.
Think this will be a benefit in my exams help
plan my exams

I was able to learn a lot and different
techniques. This was a nice relaxing place to
learn which encouraged me about my GCSE English
it was saying what questions and answers would
give you a C grade, and explained what
information you need to gain it
Before I came here I was very confused but now I
have a much clearer idea of what I need to do in
the exam. I have really enjoyed the day managed
to learn a lot
they are helpful and have definitely helped me
know how to revise because before I had no idea
at all
14
Even better if
we had another one before the exam
want another one of the revision days
more of our year get to do these sessions
I go home and do it
