As per your ‘big picture’ sheets, this week’s homework is to create an ‘aide memoire’ for what needs to go into your CA Analysing Spoken Language response. You should use the mark scheme provided as well as your ‘Skills bank’ sheet to help you to create your own checklist. (You could do this as a prompt sheet, using questions, e.g. Have I explained the purpose of the converstaion? Have I discussed the context in which the conversations are taking place and shown how this affects language choices? Have I used precise terminology? etc.)

Any questions, let me know
Homework this week is to make sure your notes sheet for the CA is fully complete. We will be working on these in lessons on Monday and Tuesday. You will need to have this with you on WEDNESDAY rather than THURSDAY this week as you will need it for the CA.
Reminder that the question is in your books and the focus is on making comparisons and explaining links between the original text and the ‘Retold’ version, and on explaining how language, structure and form contribute to the presentation of character, themes, ideas and meanings..
Just in case anyone has lost their copy of the one given out in class -see attached.
