I was teaching TKR today and thought about it. Watch this space!

@@englishwithmatt1735 Thank you Sir, I am quite struggling with it as it’s new to me haha

Glad it was helpful! That sounds like an interesting course

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hello! For spec B, section A extract-based questions are where students need intros as this allows them space to write an overview which the exam board favours. For section B and C answers, intros can become time wasters as students either don't answer the question or just list stuff they know about the text(s). Far better to start discussing the task asap. Remember that students can wholly agree, wholly disagree or partly agree/disagree with the statement in the question (if it's a 'what extent do you agree') - the questions are deliberately written to prompt debate. I'm sure I'll upload many more videos in the next academic year!

I would basically do absolutely anything right now to be able to talk more with you about how this all works. I have directed my students to your videos!

@@rainbowdolly happy to answer any emails about it or have a zoom/google meet englishwithmatt6@gmail.com

That's fantastic! Many congratulations!

I don't think he is just that - I think he could also be seen as having courage and pride, such in his rejection of American welfare (General Taheri the opposite) or refusal to have chemotherapy. Baba could also be seen as a victim that, despite being a wealthy Pashtun, he only left his homeland with a suitcase (ironically all that Ali and Hassan left with too).

@englishwithmatt1735 thank you sir

That's fantastic! 👏

Good luck! Hopefully as I type this you are happy with the paper and feel confident :)

@englishwithmatt1735 thanks Matt! It went really well but three hours is a long time to write ha :) thanks for all the help, love your videos! :)

Yep

Yes, this might be the easiest option in terms of timings. If you want longer on Sec C, you could take 15 mins off Sec A to put towards Sec C.

@@englishwithmatt1735 thank you for such a fast reply very kind thank you

Good luck!

@@englishwithmatt1735thank you sir :)) ill let you know how i get on? Do you think this information could possibly boost students up by significant marks if remembered well?

same I'm failing

@@NirvanTauckoorwe’ve got this, you’re here so you want the best ❤️❤️!!

@@IishaSDx Hopefully, I honestly didn't listen to anything in class about handmaids tale I was so tired. I also have streetcar named desire and skirred hill to do which are hard for me. Paper 1 was good though

Yes if you feel doing so enhances your argument. It would also demonstrate your knowledge of the wider collection of poems

Welcome!

That was an interesting one 👽

Sounds good. I think "darkening" also suggests the transience of time as the poem follows the narrative of a single day - the sun rising in the first stanza and falling in the last

@@englishwithmatt1735 thank you

Hope it's been helpful!

@@englishwithmatt1735 hey matt I wonder if you teach cause I really like your teaching. If so. How much is your hour rate.

@@Iitsav I don't teach one-to ones, but maybe this is something I need to think about doing in future

The mark scheme doesn't mention the amount of references students should make because what's more important is how students interpret and get meaning from their references. E.g. after you have quoted something, say "this suggests / foregrounds / emphasises / reinforces..." to analyse your reference.

I was saying to students today that Blake would probably be very disappointed with the way education is currently. Maybe why students like this poem...relatable.

Hello. Formulas may work better for GCSE and practice, I agree. However, to use your analogy, there is no reason students need to use stabilisers if they know how to ride the bike, in which case, formulas begin to restrict students. As an examiner, I see students who use frameworks at A-level are usually less successful. This video is aimed at students who want to achieve the higher marks and, in my experience, who often enjoy being able to have their own voice in their essays rather than fulfilling a 'tick box' approach. I am currently working on a video about this which I will upload later today. Different things work for different students/teachers and staff have to adapt their teaching to meet the needs of the students before them. If I had a student come to me and say they needed an A*, A,, B or C, I would not ask them to use a formula in their work. If I had a student at risk of failing, a formula may work to get them some marks in order to get an E or D.

Welcome!

There is no requirement for students to finish essays with conclusions, especially if they are spending time repeating something they have already said.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hope everything goes well :)

is yours tomorrow too 😭

Best of luck. It's a mammoth exam. My advice would be to do sections B and C first and then come back to the unseen extract for Section A.

@@englishwithmatt1735 Thank you, I have a question about providing evidence, if I do not include many specific quotes (even though its an open book exam) but still reference lots of points in the text and key macro techniques will i still be able to achieve band five or will i lose out on marks?

The is no requirement to do introductions for any section B or section C questions. Section A (extract) responses do need an intro which acts an overview.
