EXAM REVISION
BOOKLET
HOW SHOULD I REVISE?
1. Firstly, you need to look at some past exam questions so you know what to expect – see pages 3 and 4. Do this now. Once completed put a tick next to this first step.
2. OK, now that you’ve done that you need to understand what to write and how to write it. You’ll find all of this information on page 4 and 5. Read and digest this information now. Once completed put a tick next to this second step.
3. Okey dokey. Now you need to refamiliarise yourself with the playwright, the play, its characters, themes, etc. Read pages 5 – 12. Don’t forget all the class notes & discussions! Once completed put a tick next to this third step. Happy reading.
4. Alrighty, now for the most important part of your revision. Create a mindmap (preferably on A3) with a few quotes (with page numbers) for each character as well as how these quotes link to what it shows about the characters, Priestley’s ideas, effect on audience(s), devices used, etc. Use colour and images to bring it alive; your brain likes colour and images. Tick the box when done.
5. Practise answering some of the exam questions under timed conditions – 45 minutes. Although we’ll do one in class, the more you do, the better you’ll get. Hand to me for marking/feedback.
6. As you approach the exam look at your mindmap, ensure you know where to find your evidence and reread this booklet.
Put in the time and it’ll pay off, I promise.
Good luck Year 11.
