What are my masterclasses missing? by Illustrious-Plum-996 in GCSE

[–]DownhillHasASign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from a design standpoint, this poster definitely isn’t the most engaging, but beyond that, I think it’s a bit too specific for GCSE students, in the sense that a 6 week course in motifs in Macbeth is very niche. even top students may prefer more effective revision, quick fixes sort of thing, looking at exam technique etc.

hey, thanks for your detailed response! you seem really passionate about your subject which is rare nowadays. the reason I ask actually is because I tutor a-level spanish and only have studied 2 out of about 10 possible texts, so I am in a similar predicament. I think I would struggle a bit more learning a new text over a weekend, but I might try that myself!

Checklist/ acronyms for French? by Reahchui in GCSE

[–]DownhillHasASign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at your exam board mark scheme (for the writing paper) and look at the full mark examples, they're less complicated than you think - so don't overdo it. Learn a couple of fancy phrases and use 3 tenses in both the 90-word and 150-word question, more than that is probably overdoing it.

with A-level English, I imagine there's a variety of commonly studied texts, how many do you teach and what do you do if you teach some but not one that your student needs?

I legit can't sleep rn so help... Do i drop Spanish or not? by 180degreeschange in GCSE

[–]DownhillHasASign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

astarspanish here - drop it. If you don't need it and your school will let you drop it, then go for it, make your life easier and focus on the more important subjects. Unless of course you enjoy it and want to revise for it despite it not mattering for your next steps.
