You may see the above images in your English classrooms next week. We’ve covered all 15 poems in the cluster, and have picked what we think are perhaps the defining quotes from each.

See if you can score full marks on our simple revision test here.

Of course, you’ll be needing to know more than one quote per poem for the exam – and so you may find our Quizlet revision set helpful. It contains 70 key quotes from across all of the poems, and you can download the set to your phone if you install the free Quizlet app.

You’ll also find PowerPoints and worksheets for all of the poems in our GCSE revision folder. (If you don’t know the password, email or tweet Mr Shovlin!) In there, you’ll also find a guide about the best way to approach an exam question, along with some exemplar answers to show you how it’s done.

We also recommend subscribing to Mr Bruff on YouTube. He’s done videos for all of the poems in the cluster, which are all in the playlist you’ll find below.

And don’t forget your CGP revision guides too. If you haven’t yet got one, you can buy them from the library for just £3. Treat yourself!

Good luck!

Here are a few pictures from today’s poetry workshops with Jess Green, a Leicester-based poet who visited Lutterworth College to work with our students in Years 7, 8, 10 and 11.

It was a fantastic morning, and the students involved produced some exceptional poetry of their own.

You can find a couple of the poems – by Tegan Jones and Cat Wall in Year 11 – at the link below.

I Come From – Tegan Jones and Cat Wall

Thanks to Jess for running the sessions. If you’d like to read some more of her poetry, you can find her collection Burning Books in the library.

We’ll be contacting winners in the final week of term.

It was great to see so many of you at Miss Marvin’s session on the ‘death’ of the author. You can find details of the next session above.

Don’t forget to sign up outside the English Staff Room – places are first come, first served.

It’ll be a useful session for those of you aiming for grades 7, 8 and 9 and revising for your pre-Christmas assessments. You might also want to download these for your iPods in advance!

Any questions? See Miss Marvin or Mr Shovlin!

Your English teacher is no doubt always asking you to ‘vary your sentences’ to help add a bit of flavour to your writing – and to improve your grades in the process.

Here’s the first of a series of posters designed to give you some useful techniques to try out.

Why not give them a go?

 

Fancy seeing Language doyen David Crystal in the flesh, A Level Language students?

Then sign up for our English Language trip!

All the details can be found in this letter, and you’ve not got long to get signed up!

You can find the full agenda here. It’s going to be, as Miss Marvin would say, ‘#totesamazelols’.
