Conflict Poetry for the AQA Anthology

 

Over the holidays, you are going to be able to use this blog as a way of supplementing your work on the English anthology.

As often as I can, I shall be adding a post which goes through and discusses the main features of one of the conflict poems. You need to look for these posts and check the blog regularly for new ones.

When you look at the blog, you can read through the notes for each poem, add to your notes about that poem in the anthology, and then ask any questions that you have via the comments space.

When you return from the Easter holiday, I will check your anthologies to see how you have managed to keep up with this note-taking. You will then be able to use these notes as a revision aid as you approach the exam.

Spoken Language

Welcome back, year 11, and here's hoping that you enjoy the next few weeks and your investigation of spoken language. It looks as though we shall have an entertaining time thinking about slang and how it affects what we do.

If you have any questions or problems about your English, this is the place to go to--either Miss Glynn or myself with try and answer them as soon as possible. Remember, though, that if you sign up to follow the blog, you need to use a pseudonym to keep your privacy.
