Well done everyone - you've survived your first half term of A Level!
You probably didn't think you'd get away with going a week without homework, did you?
Either way, here is what you need to do:
So that we are ready to move on to the key constituents of language after half term, you need to create a revision guide for the context of language.
That means, you need to create an electronic resource (ibook, pdf, youtube video, blog (not just one post!) etc) that you can refer to when you are revising.
You need to include:
1. Explanation and examples of:
Mode
Tenor
Field
Function
2. Examples of how they affect language use.
3. Key terms, e.g. addresser-addressee relationship.
Use pages 10-30 and look out for the "key term" boxes.
For bonus points, include explanation on how to answer question 2 of the exam!
Good luck!
Due WEDNESDAY 6th NOVEMBER!
