10 Mistakes to avoid in GCSE Latin exams
|
I have been very busy organising the new sections for my Latin GCSE self-paced revision course - yes, even a little bit while on the lovely island of Sardinia! In case you wonder what type of person is thinking about examinations during holidays, I must say that it is precisely thanks to studying Latin that I developed a love for history, languages and exploration, which has led me to the me to the most amazing places, like the alluring archaeological remains you are seeing on the picture. Naturally, I would like Latin to be a source of fun, not pain, for young students! Anyway, as I was exploring this fantastic island and the sea nearby, I was also thinking about making Latin exams a less painful part of the learning experience. There was a recurring theme: students need to be told how to avoid the most usual mistakes. So, now that I am back in the office and marking some of the many GCSE papers I am getting as part of mocks revision, I have decided to go live next Monday to talk about avoiding key mistakes and making sure a 9 is on the cards. If you would like to attend, just go to the preview and click on the "notify me" link. I will also take the opportunity to answer your questions live and open registration for the new extended revision course. Make sure you come and find out all about it! If you cannot make it, you can also email me your questions ahead by replying to this email. |

salve Reader! Guilty as charged: I have not been keeping up with my public YouTube channel as much as I initially planned for the Spring term. The new membership, my ongoing writing projects, my work for the ARLT... it has been an incredibly exciting term. And I am not even going to go into the fabulous work that has been happening behind closed doors with my one-to-ones! But, but, but... you will love to hear that I am now back into creating for YouTube. This week, I recorded myself with a...
salve Reader! I hope you are enjoying a restful Easter break. I have recently been asked what happens at the live workshops for my self-paced courses and A-Level membership, and whether going through the materials alone covers the same skills. Before I give you a little peek, here are some benefits to working through interaction: I encourage participation and engagement so that the language becomes meaningful Students learn to negotiate meaning and build on their peers' ideas, and they are...
