...glish literature How to Write an A* GCSE English Literature Poetry Response Copyright © 2008 www.englishteaching.co.uk + www.english-teaching.co.uk How to Write an A* GCSE English Literature Poetry Response 2 The Poetry Component of the GCSE Literature Paper The poetry task is the second question on the GCSE English Literature exam paper. It is perhaps the more demanding of the tasks on the paper, because unlike the question on the prose, in this section you are being asked to compare four poems simultaneously throughout your answer. In the exam you should spend one hour on this section of the paper. Given the greater demand of the task, your response to the poetry is worth more marks than the response to the prose. In order to perform at the highest level on this paper, it is important that you develop a nuanced and sophisticated comparative written style. However, this is achievable if you adopt a systematic approach to ordering and writing your responses. It does, however, demand considerable practice prior to the final examination. What is the Examiner looking for in a response to the Poetry? The exam is designed to test your ability to do the following things: Can you respond to the poems critically, in detail, and sensitively using textual evidence? Can Can you explore language, structure and form contribute to the meaning of texts? Can Can you compare the ways that ideas, themes and relationships are presented in the poems by...

...Sounds of English: Introduction English Within English there are roughly 50 unique sounds(phonetics). These 50 sounds are represented by 26 letters, alone or in combination with one another (orthography). The sound system of English consists of about 2/3 consonants, which are either voiced or voiceless depending on which sounds surround them, and 1/3 vowels, which may be long or short depending on where they fall within a word (phonology). Of these sounds, vowels are fairly well understood and will not be addressed too heavily in this series. Vowels are also more difficult to discuss definitively because many of them vary by dialect. Consonants shall be the focus of these discussions on English, and to understand consonants, it is necessary to be familiar with the organs of the vocal tract used to produce them. Consonants The 30+ consonants in English, consist of the following types: * Plosives/Stops* * Fricatives * Affricates *Stops are technically the first two parts of a plosive, with the third part being a sudden expelling of air as a release. Without this ‘explosion‘ of air, a plosive is merely a stop. * Nasals * Liquids * Glides The first three involve some type of halting or obstructing the flow of air. They always occur as voiced and voiceless pairs, with two sounds being produced in mechanically identical ways, but with the only difference between them being the vibration (or lack of vibration) of the vocal cords. The final three types of sounds...

...Chronicles of IB It was my first day of IB English SL class. I always thought English was a subject where there was nothing to study. Throughout my time studying in the Indian Board, I considered English as one of the easiest subjects. But this was about to change. “Ms. Meredith Klein”, my professor’s name was written on the board with the class name “IB English Standard Level” under that with a bunch of other things written around it. As my teacher started describing the syllabus it was becoming my worst nightmare. She divided the two years of the IB program, into 4 parts and called each of the 4 units by a different genre. The funny thing was I just knew two types of genres at that time: fiction and non-fiction. The first one of the four genres she described was Classics. There were two big books I had to read for this, “The Scarlet Letter” and “The Assault” and study both the literary works intensively and at last present a detailed study of one of the book. This was another nightmare for me because throughout my life the only books I had read were a bunch of Famous Five and all in my fifth grade. I felt like it was the worst time of my life. All I did before my 11th grade was read summaries on the Internet and all of a sudden that proved as a waste of time in IB. It was not helpful at all. I knew the reading was extremely important and I still kept on procrastinating and read the books without understanding. The program was called a pre-university course and so it was extremely...

...Phonology includes comparative linguistic studies of how cognates, sounds, and meaning are transmitted among and between human communities and languages. Phonetics has concentrated on the three central components of the speech chain, where observation of what is going on is fairly straightforward. The three central components are articulatory phonetics is the study of the way the vocal organs are used to produce speech sounds, acoustic phonetics is the study of the physical properties of speech sounds and auditory phonetics is the study of the way people perceive speech sounds. In any language we can identify a small number of regularly used sounds (vowels and consonants) that we call phonemes. Because of the notoriously confusing nature of English spelling, it is particularly important to learn to think of...

...Your participation in this class is essential to your success. You will be asked to engage the text, your peers' ideas, and the writing of others in this class. Does the conclusion of the writer you are reading necessarily correlate with the evidence presented? Be aware that when you present your own evidence you must be logical, as well. Course Description: English 125 is an introduction to literature. Students will be responsible for reading the texts critically and offer contributions based on textual evidence of patterns using proper literary terms. This is a writing intensive course; therefore, you will be responsible for inventing, drafting, and revising multiple papers varying in length from short reader responses to longer essays. I expect that because you have already taken English 111 you will know how to devise a formal argument based on evidence, so you will not be allowed to leave behind what you already know about college-level writing and discourse. This section of English 125 will comingle genres. That is, we will take a thematic look at texts and begin our discussion with what these texts have in common in terms of subject matter and move from there....
