New year, new course!

Dear 10z2b,

Welcome back to school; I hope that you've enjoyed the summer holidays. GCSE will be hard - we have a lot of work to do, but I'm also hoping that it will also be fun! Remember that I'm here to help and that you should speak to me if you are having any difficulty with the work.

I'm aiming to update this blog on a weekly basis. It will consist of some of the activities that we've done in lessons (handy if you miss one), HW tasks, useful webpages etc.

Lesson 1:

We discussed the course outline (see the sidebar for information) and had a brief introduction to your first Controlled Assessment task: The Spoken Language Study.

HW: 2 pieces of HW today I'm afraid! Not very hard, but I do want you to complete them both.



  1. Answer the question below and put into the comments box.

  2. Write a letter telling me about yourself - handwritten or typed but ON PAPER please.

Due in: Friday 16th September

HW task 1:

Everyday you are placed in a variety of situations that require you to:



  • use spoken language e.g. talking to your English teacher about your HW being late

  • respond to spoken language e.g. answering a question, asked by a teacher, in front of the class during a lesson

  • listen to spoken language e.g. listening to the radio whilst having breakfast

THINK ABOUT YOUR DAY SO FAR AND WRITE DOWN AS MANY DIFFERENT EXAMPLES AS YOU CAN OF THE SPOKEN LANGUAGE THAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED.



I look forward to reading your responses! See you tomorrow,

Mrs Roberts
