- **Event Description**: So much content! A 2-hour, in-person workshop on how to revise effectively for English GCSE (Language &amp; Literature).About this EventEnglish revision often feels vague, stressful, and ineffective. Many students say they revise a lot — but still don’t know whether they’re doing the right things, especially for English.This free, in-person workshop is designed to change that.We’ll start by tackling the biggest problems students consistently report with English revision, then move into a guided, confidence-building deep dive into Unseen Poetry, using a funny, accessible poem to show how analysis actually works in the exam.Open to ages 14+.10 places only. First come, first served. ? Part 1: How to Revise for English GCSE (Approx. 55 minutes)We begin by addressing the most common struggles students have with English revision. What we’ll then cover:What GCSE English exams are really testingWhy re-reading and highlighting don’t work on their ownA simple, realistic revision framework students can actually follow: Active reading (not passive rereading), Choosing short, flexible quotes, How and when to use past papers, How feedback improves marks (and how to get it).How to revise English in short, focused sessions — without binging all the texts the week before the exam.How to make English revision more engaging (including using films and adaptations strategically, not as procrastination).Students leave this section with a clear plan for how to revise both English Language and Literature, not just what to revise.? Part 2: Unseen Poetry – From Panic to Confidence (Approx. 65 minutes)Unseen poetry is one of the most feared parts of GCSE English, but it doesn’t need to be.In this section, we’ll:Demystify what examiners are actually looking for in Unseen PoetryIntroduce key poetic devices in context (without feature-spotting)Walk through a step-by-step approach to tackling an unseen poem in the exam: First read: understanding meaning and tone. Second read: spotting methods that matter. Planning ideas quickly and efficientlyAnalyse a funny, engaging unseen poem together so students can see: That poems don’t have to be intimidating. How humour still allows for high-level analysis.Model an effective PEEL paragraph live: Making a clear point. Selecting a short, relevant quote. Analysing language with purpose.
