Year 9 English exam support
The June exam will consist of one writing task where you will be given the topic/theme and develop into a narrative (personal writing): you should then include the following:
Great title
Interesting BUT believable storyline (plot)
Structure your paragraphs, (remember> beginning, middle, and end)
Present characters and places in descriptive detail (adjectives, similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia, personification)
Use short, medium and long sentences for variety use full range of punctuation
Read the instructions on the paper and see how the marks are gained..
It is also worth revising the ‘Writing Checklist’ from your homework diary.
The paper is worth 60%
The remaining 40% will come from Reading, Writing and Talking & Listening assessments you have done from January, and which have been marked by your English teacher.
Best of luck Year 9.
