Ms R, could you please do some videos on “Part 2: Paper 2 Section A Poetry and Prose texts” section of the anthology? It’s really hard to find notes for them.
Please do the poems part two. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Hey, you have been so helpful so thank you so much. I was wondering if you plan to upload the videos for part 2: Paper 2 section A which includes 'The Necklace' and 'Out, Out -' ? For me and most people I know as well this is the most tedious and tricky section, would certainly appreciate a little help! Thanks again

Please may you do paper 2 before this summer if you get the time?
Few hours till the exam, so this'll be the final video I watch, and I couldn't thank you enough for helping me with the text revision. I managed to get a 9 (53/60) on my coursework, and seeing as this is my best, and likely only chance, to get the same or a similar mark on my GCSE, I'm terrified I'm going to blow it lmao. Again, thank you for your videos, and thank you for your help with the GCSE. (edit: excuse the daft username)

Your commitment to excellence and your ability to make complex concepts accessible have truly made a difference in my academic journey.

Hello
Some great analysis in here so thank you for that but I think you are viewing the text with a far too cynical perspective. There really is little to no evidence, for example, of 'the Kibla donkey is said to achieve speeds of 40kph' being patronising and evaluating the author's work in a critical perspective is of no value in this instance anyway since there are no marks for it in the exam.
@mrsrumsey
5 жыл бұрын
Hi Scott, This would be relevant for the first bullet point for AO2: "Perceptive understanding..." It is important to consider alternative interpretations of the text. She may not have been patronizing, but she could very well have been. More importantly, it gives you the opportunity to make reference to the use of the dash which helps give emphasis to details she relays about the donkey. She certainly feels this detail about their speed is of importance. Whether she thinks it is important because it is laughable or genuinely impressive is up for debate.

On line 2, I thought it was interesting how she referred to them as "lads" perhaps this shows her initial confidence in her surroundings because of the colloquial language, which can be compared to the end where you can sense she's a bit more nervous.
