Year11: A list of great revision websites

Students learn in many different ways. We hope we can provide you with some useful ideas on different websites you can use to help you revise in ways that suit you.

So, here are some recommendations:

 

http://www.completeissues.co.uk/ - a website ideal for those sitting their English Language exam this summer. You will need to login (your English teacher can provide you with the login details - it's free!) so do ask them. There is a huge amount of brilliant articles to use to help you with sources for Q1-Q4 of the exam so you should never be stuck for practice questions! Remember to bring them in for your English Teacher to mark and give you feedback on.

 

http://getrevising.co.uk/resources/level/gcse - this is ideal for all of your subjects and general revision as well as being useful for English. There’s a wealth of information on it, from being able to create your own revision timetable to over 600 resources on Of Mice and Men, there’s something there for everyone!

 

http://www.youtube.com/mrbruff - Mr Bruff is our second favourite English Teacher, aside from Mr Lawson-Ellis, obviously. He has created an amazing YouTube page, full of excellent videos that help you with your revision. There’s videos on moving from A to A* and they’re all on a range of topics, from ‘Unseen Poetry’ to ‘Of Mice and Men’. It’s a must-use website for anyone wishing to succeed!

http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/micemen/ - ahhhh, our ever faithful friend, Sparknotes. This is a link to their stuff of ‘Of Mice and Men’, but there are hundreds of other texts on there, with very useful information to revise from, and it’s all really reliable, too. Check it out.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/english_literature/ - BBC bitesize is a really reliable website that covers lots of information, both for your Language GCSE and your Literature GCSE. Get involved.

 

http://wildernenglish.wordpress.com/tag/responding-to-an-unseen-poem/ - struggling with unseen poetry? This school has an excellent blog post on responding to unseen poems, and also some practise questions for you.

 

We’ll add a new post with some more useful links on for you in the coming weeks, but this is more than enough to get you started. Get off FaceBook and onto something that will help you excel your potential. Now.
