1) Vocab needs to be regularly re-visited. This can be done via Quizlet and is self-marked.
2) Each fortnight there are activities set in the GCSE AQA German workbook. You each have one of these. Work through the activities on the overview (downloadable resource) by the deadline shown. Tasks marked *are for students with a target of 9-7. Listening files can be accessed via the appropriate file
Work can be self-assessed using the mark scheme at the back of the book.
3) Regularly revise your general conversation questions for the speaking exam – use the ‘Aiming for the top’ thermometer (downloadable resource) to ensure you have included all the elements of language you need to for your target grade. There are copies of sample questions as well as some template answers to guide you (downloadable resources). Then look at the student friendly mark scheme (downloadable resource) and reflect on which of the success criteria you have fulfilled.
4) In the GCSE German Revision Aid (downloadable resource), you will have access to lots of key grammar notes. If after reviewing your work, you feel you need further practice, go to the relevant section in your grammar and translation workbook or on Languages Online
You can also access the relevant topic areas on Active Learn
and This is language
5) Once you feel confident with different topic areas practise a writing task using the downloadable resources in this section. Then look at the student friendly mark scheme (downloadable resource) and reflect on which of the success criteria you have fulfilled.
6) If you would like to practise translations or literary texts, the downloadable workbooks and answer booklets will give you tips/hints.
7) Listening and reading past papers can be accessed not just on the AQA website but also Edexcel and OCR websites
Effective Revision in Music
The below links will take you to a variety of practise questions for all elements of the exam. These are broken down into the Areas of Study (A.O.S) we learn in lessons. Each A.O.S booklet will cover the listening questions based on the Set Works, Unfamiliar Listening and Melodic/Rhythmic questions. There are also two Practise Papers for students to work through with audio files and mark schemes. Mark schemes are also provided for all A.O.S booklets as well as a Student Tracking Sheet to monitor how well they are doing in each Area of Study for each type of question. Track listings are provided for questions near the end of each booklet, which can be found on Youtube.
The BrainScape link will take you to a series of flashcards useful for general revision. These are good for quick recall questions, which parents / carers can be part of when helping. I have also included Revision Power Points for Set Works that are used in lesson, as well as video scores which make it easier for students to follow the music on the score as it is playing. These can be used for general revision.
When revising your child should go over the revision material before answering any questions – this includes creating a playlist of the Set Works if they haven’t already and listening to the pieces on repeat. Once confident, they should be working through the A.O.S booklets and learning the Mark Scheme for where they went wrong – question types repeat in similar ways so answers can be learnt from the mark scheme. It is always better to spend a little time each day on revision rather than cramming for a long period of time, so think little and often. Where possible, students should have their own work space with access to a laptop/computer and headphones to complete the work effectively. You may wish to work through these questions out loud with your child in timed conditions to simulate the exam (a ‘user friendly’ version of the Specification has been provided for the exam component for you to gain a better understanding of what is required). It is not essential to print the booklets out, but you may wish to do so.
NB: Please ensure all files are fully extracted before use. If there are any issues accessing these files then please email me at ptompkins@rickmansworth.herts.sch.uk
Good luck and happy revising!
