Student revision pages for Paper 1

This week we have added a new page in our series of paper 1 student revision pages. These pages are designed to support students in revising and preparing for Paper 1. This week we have added a page focused on the literary form of drama, so there is now a page for each of the four literary forms which could appear in the examination.

There is a myth amongst students that they cannot revise for Paper 1 as it is an unseen examination.  However, while there is no content to revise, it is important for students to realise that they can go into the paper very well prepared by revising the literary forms and techniques that they are likely to encounter in the extracts, as well as the terminology they should use in their responses. 

The more practice students have with analysing a range of unseen literary extracts, the more confident and skilled they will become in developing responses to any given text.  

These pages are also designed to help teachers who may be running short of different ways to help students prepare for this one examination this year.  Each page includes a quiz with targeted questions based on short extracts, followed by some short answer written tasks and a past paper extract from the given genre.   These pages can be accessed via the link below and all allow for direct student access.
