IT IS UPON US

It is fast arriving the end of our second year together, and as you ought to know, the End of Year Examinations is upon us. The next few blogs will be dedicated to reinforcing various topics you will need to revise for your English exams.

Remember, it's two Language papers and one Literature paper.

For the Language papers, students should be able to:

• answer comprehension questions
• write a business letter(report writing will be incorporated in this mode of writing)
• write a description of a person (or placce)
• write a short story

-------------------------------------------

• identify synonyms and antonyms
• select the correct homonyms
• identify the correctly spelt words
• select the most appropriate word to complete sentences
• punctuate sentences correctly

NB. There will be atleast three comprehension passages on the multiple choice paper (poetry, short story, exposition).


For the Literature exam, students will be tested on:

• poetry (mood/tone, literary devices and how effectively they are used, themes, stanzas)
• elements of drama
• Shakespearean drama (comedies, tragedies, histories - state characteristics and identify examples of each)
• all three novels read for the year (Sixty Five, Men and gods, Enchanted Island)              *Remember you are to answer A question from TWO books.

Themes include (but are not limited to):
- Heroism
- Love and Family relationship
- Violence
- Death/ tragedy

As you should realise by now, this is what you have been doing for the year.

****With hard work and perseverance comes success.****
