Revision S4 (and S1)

S4 are only two weeks away from prelims. Remember that some of them, French Listening included, will take place before official exam leave. Click on the label SG Revision for tips and links to revision sites. However, I do expect that you should already be revising a little each evening - don't forget all your previous hard work! Your vocab booklets should help and, should you have lost yours, try

Green book.

Red book.

In each case you will need to supplement this with work you have done in class and vocab that you have encountered in past papers.

Don't forget to click on the label SG revision for many more hints, tips and places to revise.

----

S1: if you have lost your copy of the vocab the Blue book is what you are looking for.

Adverse Weather etc: what to do at home.

If you are unable to come to school because of adverse weather or any other unexpected circumstances there are still things you can do, once any homework is completed. For instance:

* Revise vocabulary recently done in class
* Review recent work and check you still understand.
* Prepare for any tests that may be coming up.
* Practise at any of the sites I have recommended on the blog or in class.
* Check the school website for any updated information that may have been given.

Some of the things you should be doing may depend on the time of year or your stage of study.

S1 and S2
Useful websites for now include
A tantot - you have been given a copy of the username and password. If you are in the middle of a Spanish block, there are also exercises here you can do.

Wild French - There are exercises to help you with the vocabulary topics you have looked at in class.

S3 and S4
You should revise using your vocabulary sheet in the first instance.

You may have Writing or Speaking assessments to prepare for and/or learn.

Click on the labels SG or SG revision for a list of sites.

France Live sheets provide useful reading/cultural awareness exercises which you can also mine for vocabulary.

S5 and S6
Again, look over current and previous work in class.

If you have a copy of the H or Int 2 pack, look over any exercises the teacher has not done in class.

Take some time to revisit any Listening exercises already done in class - this time listen to the clip while reading the transcript in order to familiarise yourself with pronunciation.

SCHOLAR - it is important that you use this as you work your way through topic areas - your teachers can and do check how often you use this.

Check for any previous instructions, advice and website recommendations on this blog.

Not sure how to prounounce words?

This site Miss Mula told me about might help.

• Type in what you want to say - correctly! If you make a mistake, it won't pronounce it properly.
• I'd type in a document, with correct accents and paste it in to the box.
• Select language as French (or Spanish or which you want) or the lanaguage you have typed in.
• Adjust the speed.
• You are give the option of embedding this in an email or web page.

Remember, though, results can only be as good as the work you put in to it.
