Just came back to say I got grade 9s in both my English exams, you fully saved literature for me, I’d never gotten above a 6 until the real thing! Thank you!
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish I would say it was remembering a wide range of quotes and themes from the texts, practising potential questions and working on question structure for both subjects
So, should we write our answer by numbering the explanations? I’m a little confused about the way you advised us to structure the answer. Aside from that, Incredible Video, Sir
I'm slightly uncomfortable writing the points out in a numbered list, but do you think I could still do this but without the numbers? For example just starting a new line for each point? Would that still make it clear enough for the examiners?
@@manmitkaur433 no i didn’t in the end because I was too scared I would get 0 marks. I ended up with a grade 8 in language, and scored great on q1-4 but more poorly on q5. You obviously don’t need the bullet points to get a good grade and I havent watched any Mr Salles videos since so don’t know whether he still recommends this, but I say its up to you which you want to do.
I’m pretty sure I mentioned in the video that a QA examiners are allowed to disagree in the marking. Apologies if I didn’t. But because they can give you three different grades, and all those three grades would still stand, even if you appealed against your exam result, You can see that nothing is 100% guarantee, especially paragraphs. This solution, where you slap the examine around the face with the exact number of your explanations, dares them to give you the wrong mark. You’re basically saying to them, hey, look, I’ve written seven explanations, you better have a really good reason not to give me seven marks. Whereas, if you write in paragraphs, they can just shrug their shoulders and give you whatever mark they like
Hi, That was a while a time ago but anyway I would highly recommend using the bullet points as they can really help with structuring the points and making comparisons and links between them as it also good as a way to analyze all the key points across the extract!!!!@@zaidyusuf5772
do you not need to have like an overarching point for your answer to be considered perceptive. Surely if you are just randomly analysing language without cohesion that wont score?
my exact thoughts. i'm worried that if i don't write in full paragraphs the examiner will think it's not a cohesive or well-structured argument and therefore mark me down? idk i feel like bullet points is a bit of a hit/miss method
@@whosminou i dont get it, why does everyone think its bullet points when its meant to be a numbered list that clearly shows how many explanations you give?
@@NotSandhorst it's basically the same thing since it's not strucutre cohesively and doesn't flow very well as an essay. it just seems unprofessional + risky to attempt it in the real thing but that's just my opinion :)
So if you wrote 12 simple points with just : point, quote, explanation in one sentence for each point you could get 12 marks? Like choosing 12 separate quotes and writing one sentence for each one?
When we write these responses, do we need two different points throughout our response e.g. the sweets are dangerous. And the sweet's effects are permanent and long-lasting but also the addiction for them. Or if we find enough quotes and explanations, only talk about their dangerous nature. Or could be do 8 for danger and 4 for their permanent effects?
iam very comfortable with bullet points because thats wat ive been doing for my biology chemistry and physics for the past 3 years. but iam just scared if the examiner would say hm thats not inform of paragraph i wont give it enough mark like a maximum of 2-5 marks would that be possible even if i have made 12 points?
Wow, would I actually get away with writing it as 12 points and 12 marks? Do they not consider how good the explanations are and then give it a grade on how good your answers were overall? For example, say I gave 12 L2 or L3 responses, would I then not get an L2 or L3 Grade overall? Or defo 12 as I wrote 12 points?
@@zaidyusuf5772 hello, yes I just wrote 12 (or as many as I could) the best I could, and I managed to come away with a high grade, would advise trying to write the points at an L3 - L4 level and I’m sure at least a few of your points will be L4 or L3 worthy, therefore meaning you should get the 12 points for it. Hope this helps!
Mr salles, thanks for the video as always, when I use mutiple explanations for a single quote should I use different interpretations, so this could imply this or it could imply this, or should I simply give two explanations, both explaining the same point but focusing on different methods within the quote, thanks again and good luck everyone with the paper!!!
is there anything in the markscheme about how you layout your answer? i know that in geography if you answered a six mark like this you would get capped at half marks so i was wondering if english is the same… if not this is a brilliant method
The videos helped me last time so thank you, are you 100% sure if I set it out like this with this structure the examiner will still mark it well without paragraphs
if in the extract there is multiple uses of a technique can I write about the same technique used at different points multiple times with different explanations to score marks? amazing video thank you
sir, quick question - would it be okay to number all the different explanations I've made in the exam (1-12) just so the examiner can see that I've made 12 interpretations just like how you did or should I not do that and just write 12 different sentences?
Is it okay to analyze an adjective within a method? Like if there was a simile like ‘as daunting as a lion’ could I analyze the adjective of ‘daunting’ as long as I have identified that it is a simile
Yes, totally. There are no extra marks are pointing out. It is an adjective, but you don’t lose any, and the examiner will feel happy about you, although most students end up identifying parts of speech incorrectly, which obviously makes them sound dumb
Is anyone else going to go into the exam, close their eyes and pick a random part of the source and see if they land on a quote? It would be quite interesting lol. But obviously don't waste time😂
In my mocks, i got a grade 9 and I wrote about verbs and adjectives at points and my teacher who is an active examiner didnt say not to use them. I think I used them in my p1 aswell. Will I lose lots of marks?
@@rurzee mr salles makes up the craziest ideas, who's actually gonna have the time to make 12 points with references and explanations and still have enough time to do the whole exam? hes setting u up for failure watch mreverythingenglish instead
well, the right answer to this question is that you spend exactly as long writing as you have time in the exam. If it is a 12 mark question, you have 18 minutes of writing time, and consequently I recommend writing as much as you can in that time. The other answer, is that no, you don’t have to write that many lines of explanation and demonstration of methods.
Yes, zoom in on the word. Naming whether it is a noun or verb et cetera doesn’t get you any extra marks. It’s the analysis of what you say about the word which gets the marks.
@MrSallesTeachesEnglish Thankyou so much! I am glad Aqa have done that. I have to say that you have significantly helped improve my english.I never could understand how to analyse before,always stuggled with english as I am more of a maths brain.However once i came across your videos since mocks I could finally answer questions like this as you applied it in a method like manner.I am actually going to be so sad that english is almost over because then I have no more videos to watch.But I will always remain subscribed! Thankyou :) you gave me hope that you can improve english without having the natural talent of anylising in depth.😂
Mr salles my friend did this method perfectly, 12 explanations but only 7 marks. could it be that his work was not marked by a chief examiner? or maybe just a few bad explanations?
if I were to write my answer as 12 numbered explanations, would the examiners accept that as an answer, or is it just how you're showing what you need to include in your answer?
Hey Sir, would you mind marking this question 3 for me, its form the June 2018 series? I have adapted to your approach slightly, but am not sure. The writer uses language to describe the sea, more specifically the breaker, to appear treacherous and something the surfers should be fearful of. The personification of “its mighty impulse” suggests that the breaker is calculated and almost meticulous as it carries the surfers to sea roughly at a “rate of 40 miles an hour”. By presenting the sea this way, the writer creates glory and honour for surfers, some who are described to be “daring”. This adjective implies how surfers take going to sea and on top of the breaker as an act of chivalry, showing that they do it with courage and skill. The writer may be therefore suggesting that these surfers are doing an action that cannot be done by the unskillful and inexperienced. The writer continues to present the breaker and the sea to be intimidating and powerful by utilising personification of “engulfment by the fierce breaker”. This imagery implies how harsh the conditions were of the sea and further emphasises how surfers go into sea at their own risk. The adjective “fierce” suggests how the sea is almost combatting the surfers ability to be on top of the breaker as it implies it is fighting with an admiring quality. Again, this glorifies the surfers, showing to readers how they attempt to do the unthinkable. However, in the end, the writer uses the simile, “head bobbing about like corks in smooth water” to suggest the ultimate defeat of the surfers and show that the sea has been victorious in the battle between them.
It’s because every school seems to treat paragraphs as a ‘method’ each question requires - the exam is not really a test of being good at English anymore. I’m going to make a series of videos in the summer about different exam boards, because I think Edexcel have come up with a GCSE which actually does test the students ability in skills we would value as English teachers. I don’t know if anyone watch them! But I am excited

I have to say that you have significantly helped improve my english.I never could understand how to analyse before,always stuggled with english as I am more of a maths brain.However once i came across your videos since mocks I could finally answer questions like this as you applied it in a method like manner.I am actually going to be so sad that english is almost over because then I have no more videos to watch.But I will always remain subscribed! Thankyou :) you gave me hope that you can improve english without having the natural talent of anylising in depth.😂
Mr salles my friend did this method perfectly, 12 explanations but only 7 marks. could it be that his work was not marked by a chief examiner? or maybe just a few bad explanations?
Yes, the explanations must have been off topic
if I were to write my answer as 12 numbered explanations, would the examiners accept that as an answer, or is it just how you're showing what you need to include in your answer?
Both
Mr Salles, will the English exams stay the same or will they change in the future (Literature and Language)?
We normally get 3 years notice, so you’re safe till 2027
love you mr salles
glad I don’t have the wrong mock grade! I don't want the bubonic plague
mr salles your so good at teaching, how long you been teaching?
7:50 he said 30 years
THANK YOU
can repetition count as a language technique
Yes
thank you!
so paragraphs is not in the mark scheme?
Length or number or structure of paragraphs is not in the mark scheme.
what if the examiner thinks the explanation is not detailed enough and refuses to give the mark
Gonna use this method today pretty scared
nah same im scared asf but it seems good😭
i got an 8 in literature, but i got a 6 in language when ive literally never got below a 7/8 before so imma get a remark, hbu?@@t.7821

Sorry I’m confused do you want us to literally set our work out in 2 lines per piece ?
Becuase I suppose we are forced full marks if we have 12 points
Mr salles is you see this please answer
@@cosmos6294 yes as long as you explain them
Hey Sir, would you mind marking this question 3 for me, its form the June 2018 series? I have adapted to your approach slightly, but am not sure.
The writer uses language to describe the sea, more specifically the breaker, to appear treacherous and something the surfers should be fearful of.
The personification of “its mighty impulse” suggests that the breaker is calculated and almost meticulous as it carries the surfers to sea roughly at a “rate of 40 miles an hour”.
By presenting the sea this way, the writer creates glory and honour for surfers, some who are described to be “daring”. This adjective implies how surfers take going to sea and on top of the breaker as an act of chivalry, showing that they do it with courage and skill. The writer may be therefore suggesting that these surfers are doing an action that cannot be done by the unskillful and inexperienced.
The writer continues to present the breaker and the sea to be intimidating and powerful by utilising personification of “engulfment by the fierce breaker”. This imagery implies how harsh the conditions were of the sea and further emphasises how surfers go into sea at their own risk. The adjective “fierce” suggests how the sea is almost combatting the surfers ability to be on top of the breaker as it implies it is fighting with an admiring quality.
Again, this glorifies the surfers, showing to readers how they attempt to do the unthinkable.
However, in the end, the writer uses the simile, “head bobbing about like corks in smooth water” to suggest the ultimate defeat of the surfers and show that the sea has been victorious in the battle between them.

@AD dont come complaining to me kid about your issues im just tryna learn like the rest of us here
I'm a tutor and I have to agree - I'm so sick of pupils asking me, "how many paragraphs should I write ?" 🫤
It’s because every school seems to treat paragraphs as a ‘method’ each question requires - the exam is not really a test of being good at English anymore. I’m going to make a series of videos in the summer about different exam boards, because I think Edexcel have come up with a GCSE which actually does test the students ability in skills we would value as English teachers. I don’t know if anyone watch them! But I am excited
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish mate ur viewership will go down in the summer people are only watching your videos as they have gcses coming up so yes ur right - nobody will watch them
@Blues we'll still watch him,
@@blues3483 bros life is to attempt to insult an English teacher who garners thousands of views and is verified. Pathetic.
@@cantrhinkofanamwsoooo7875 "garners" you clearly failed ur english gcse hence why you're watching him in the first place ;D
