WJEC board too.

The thunderclouds are building. Hmm

AutumnFades · 21/05/2015 21:11

WJEC English Lit. here tomorrow.

I have no idea what poems DD is looking at, but I think there's an anthology. They were talking about iambic pentameters earlierConfused

DS is doing iGCSE poems tomorrow too. I don't know which board they swap around - and for some subjects he's doing 'ordinary' GCSE, not iGCSE.

That Paris poem is OK - I couldn't help but think of "We'll always have Paris" from Casablanca when I read it...

bigTillyMint · 21/05/2015 20:11

Woolly, that's great!

DD has IGCSE - poetry and unseen? She and her mate have been revising all day. ApparentlyWink

Quickly popping in to say hello. DS has English tomorrow but not poetry exam table says wjec gcse, he's adamant it inspector calls tomorrow. Not that he's revising. Oh no he's killing klingons Again

Checking in from HOME GrinGrinGrin

DD having a snooze and is prepared to waffle give it her all tomorrow "They're all about sex anyway" Grin and you can't revise for the unseen poem. I can't fault her logic.

spudmasher · 21/05/2015 19:28

Yup, English tomorrow. Dd was just telling me about how her teacher became tearful whilst discussing a poem describing a love affair. Something to do with Paris. She thought it was funny and says that she'll get the giggles if that one comes up!

stayathomegardener · 21/05/2015 19:18

Signing in to thread 4.
English Lit here tomorrow morning too.
DD's English teacher has emailed to make sure she only answers one of the two question choices on part two this time!

LineRunner · 21/05/2015 19:07

My OH's DD also has the same exam tomorrow. Two households in wonderful GCSE turmoil.

I think we're planning to watch Eurvision on Saturday night and get plastered. Smile

SoupDragon · 21/05/2015 19:00

DS is revising for his FIFA 15 exam Hmm

He has nothing until after half term though :)

LineRunner · 21/05/2015 18:59

He's in his room but I suspect he may not be reading poetry. Possibly Reddit. But not pomes. Grin

DD decided to go and watch the AS drama students doing their show this evening, as apparently you can't revise for English Grin

Yes - in the morning. DD has the same face Confused

Ginandtonictime · 21/05/2015 18:36

poetry - 45 mins comparison of known poems, 30 mins unseen poem ...

75 mins of purgatory ... but our first subject completed! Woohoo!

LineRunner · 21/05/2015 18:34

Yes, DS has poetry. He looks thrilled. Like this Confused

He says he did well in maths this morning though.

His exams seem to on forever. Half term next week, then another three weeks of the buggers.

OddBoots · 21/05/2015 18:32

4 already, goodness. :)

Yup, English Lit (OCR), 90 mins of heritage prose and poetry.
