If your Year 12 child is retaking an English Language in November, they will have been very close to achieving a grade 4. This means they can already identify language features, but do they know why they are used and the effect they have?
This is not a full course - just a simple way of jumping through the hoops to pass.
(This is my method for reluctant learners that works, no hate from English teachers, please!)
Download a one-sheet crash course below, which deals with the language information needed for Paper 1 Section A. (They also need to know about structure and how to write a story, but more of that for Summer examinations.)
What to do....
Ask your young person to turn this table into a mind map, flashcards, or whatever helps them remember.
You can help by asking questions....
Name one language feature that is a sight feature
Why does a writer use a sight feature?
I am writing and producing many resources for reluctant learners.
This is just a sample of how one document can be changed to help different visual preferences.
