2 Exam Review: 1. Students to reflect on their exam experiences. Discuss: What exam strategies worked for you? How can you improve your exam skills? Did you... • Stay calm and remember to take a few deep breaths if you felt anxious or stressed? • Pay attention to how much time you had for each section? • Read through all the questions for each text before selecting answers? • Eliminate answers that were definitely wrong? • Skip and go back to difficult questions? • Answer every question? • Watch out for questions with negatives? For example, ‘Which of these is not...’ 2. Review questions students found challenging and discuss strategies for common question types (for annotated questions, see the exam review slides). Question Types Example Questions Retrieval This question type asks you to find a specific piece of information in the text. The answer can be easily identified in the text and no additional analysis is required. Strategies: • Make sure you understand what information you’re being asked to find. • Search and retrieve – quickly scan the text for the correct information. 1, 8, 15 Inference Inference = a conclusion or opinion that is formed because of known facts or evidence. These questions require you to find an answer that is not clearly/literally stated in the text. Strategies: • Determine the meaning/subtext of the text content. For example, if a child is described as hugging a teddy bear and crying, you can infer that they are upset. The surrounding sentences should help provide context/extra information. • Make connections with what you already know. • Combine information from the text with your existing knowledge and think of the most reasonable answer. 16, 21 Main Idea These questions ask you to find the most important idea of a paragraph/text. Strategies: • Find the key information of the text. • Quickly summarise information. • Draw conclusions based on the information presented. Tip: The first and last sentences of a paragraph usually include key information. 20, 40 Vocabulary These questions assess your understanding of word meanings. Strategies: • Use your prior knowledge of word meanings, including meanings associated with prefixes and suffixes. • Consider the context in which the word is being used (many words have multiple meanings depending on how they are used). 24, 37
3 Homework Practice 5014b Part 1 – Grammar There are three main tenses in English: past, present and future. This week’s focus is the future tense (simple future). The future tense is used to refer to things that haven’t yet happened. We use this tense when discussing things we expect to happen in the future. We form future tense by placing will or shall in front of the infinitive form (basic form of the verb/how the verb appears in the dictionary) of a verb. For example: Tomorrow, I will go for a walk. Part 2 – Reading Comprehension Passage 1: Fairy tale: Clever Little Grettel collected by the Brothers Grimm. Published: 1819 1. Understanding text types: Students to discuss origins of fairy tales. Was this story written by the Brothers Grimm? ‘Two hundred years ago, two young German librarians by the names of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published a collection of tales that would become one of the most influential works of folklore in Germany, Europe, and eventually the world. The Grimms thought the stories and their morals emanated naturally from the German people in an oral tradition, and they wanted to preserve them before the tales were lost forever.’ Information from: https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2015/marchapril/feature/how-the-grimm- brothers-saved-the-fairy-tale tipple An alcoholic drink/the act of taking a drink of alcohol. fowl A bird that is used to produce meat or eggs. plucked To remove feathers from a chicken or other bird so that it can be cooked and eaten. trussed truss: to prepare a bird for cooking by tying its wings and legs to its body. lingering Lasting for a long time or slow to end. ‘sup with me’ Have dinner with me. spit A long, thin, metal stick put through a piece of food, especially meat, so it can be cooked above a fire. tavern A place where alcohol is sold and drunk. grudge A persistent feeling of ill will or resentment resulting from a past insult or injury. idle Avoiding work/not working.
