Y13 - Thursday 6th April

For today's lesson we aim to complete a Unit 2 mock (the paper I gave you yesterday). The aim is to complete this paper in the double lesson - remember that the real exam gives you just 1 hr 15 min.

We need to aim for speed and accuracy in our writing, hence why we are using the essay plans we created overnight.

When you have finished these, please leave them on my desk. 

Best of luck

Y13 - for Wednesday 22nd March

Y13s - for Wednesday - please complete FOUR questions from section A of Unit 3 - two options from two papers. Choose which mock you prefer. We will then peer mark and prepare model answers for these.

Eg: answer BOTH the 10 and 15 marker questions from TWO sections in one paper (eg. bridging the development gap AND Biodiversity under threat). Repeat with another mock.

Lastly, at the top of the paper, write how many minutes it took you to answer each. Use the circle essay plan if you need to.
