1. Self Assess Q1a portfolio of micro essays

I have emailed you the self assessment sheets. Use the feedback and grading from the one essay I have marked on Q1a skills, the feedback will be under the comments section of one of the recent essays.

Make sure you complete the whole document including the 3 targets on the bottom of the second section – this is the most important bit!

2. Revision Mock exam

When you return after xmas break you will have a 1 hour mock exam on both Q1a and Q1b together. Be prepared and start to revise now.

Revision Techniques - pick on of the following and post the evidence on your blog
  1. Rewrite the essay under timed conditions (without looking at the original) 
  2. Use the Terminology wheels under the lesson posts on the blog from this year to TEST yourself
