Service Description

Phase 3: It is a 1-to-4 course. Each class will give students the opportunity to write answers to entrance exam questions under timed conditions, followed by discussion and detailed feedback. Then, for each question and paper, I will show students my own written examples of answers, so students can see what a 'perfect' answer would be. My written examples will demonstrate the point, evidence, explain method (PEE), and give examples of how to comment on writers' imagery, syntax, and style. The following are challenging and offer a range of activities commonly set at 13+ level. These include poetry analysis, multiple choice, 19th-century fiction, factual writing, and autobiography. The questions invite students to write point-evidence-technique-explain-develop-link paragraphs, but also afford opportunities to give short answers, define vocabulary and attempt creative extensions of tasks. The range of tasks will help students gain confidence in all aspects of the 13+ experience. 1)The Hunger Games (speculative fiction/dystopia) 2)Jane Eyre (multiple choice) 3)Hard Times (19th century fiction) 4)The Amber Spyglass (fantasy) 5)Emanuel School (Laurie Lee) 6)My Grandmother (poetry) ISEB 7)Sevenoaks 2019 (1984) 8)Trinity (My family and Other Animals) 9)Winchester (Cousin Kate) 10)ISEB Touching the Void passage.
