16. show us some revision resources you’ve made recently

day sixteen of my april studyblr challenge

the revision resource that i’m currently working on in a-level french, is a list of essay plans.

click for hq

for anybody who’s interested in a-level languages, we’ve been studying “l’auberge espagnole” since february half term. here’s a bit about the process so far:

we first looked at the context for the film, and the director, cédric klapisch.

then, we looked at the main characters and how they are generally presented (plus, some background on the actors too).

i made a character file for each of the characters (focusing on the stereotypes they fall into, as cultural identity is a very prominent theme)

we brainstormed scenes relating to each of the themes suggested by the exam board

then we briefly looked at individual shots of scenes, to make sure i was secure in my knowledge of the storyline

we also did a sort of written “hot-seating” to get inside the heads of some of the main characters

we also took a lesson to research quotes online, however, i found that most of them only fell into one theme, so im going to have to go on a quote hunt when i next watch the film

for my first try at writing an essay, i was given three options to plan and discuss with my teacher, before choosing the one i felt most comfortable with

one of the most beneficial lessons for me, was watching the final scene of the film (arguably the most famous) and making a storyboard that i annotated with cinematic techniques and links to themes

if anybody has any questions about taking a language at a-level feel free to reply to this post, send me an ask or dm me!

SIXTH FORM TIPS👩‍💻 I'm not an expert but here's some tips I've gathered from watching a few YouTube videos✨ 1️⃣ treat it like a job in 3 ways: get it done on time, promotion comes with time, go the extra mile. You have to keep up with the work at the workplace and learn as you go, skills you can use at a level. 2️⃣not many people say this but getting a D in the first few mocks/assessments is totally NORMAL. Even with familiar subjects like English,Chemistry or maths, you're starting new right from day one. Don't be discouraged when you don't see results you expect, you can work up to it. 3️⃣"managing" is not the same as coping healthily. the next two years of your life are gonna go fast and they're probably gonna be difficult, but notice when you're wellbeing isn't aligning with your work. time doesn't stop and it's best if you help yourself recover right away. 4️⃣whether you're going to uni or taking a gap yah or working a 9-5, you'll never get back these teens years. If there's events or parties you want to to go to, go. If you want to try for school council, go for it. experience was made for YOU. 💚 THAT'S ALL💚Hope this was helpful to someone . . . . #study #studytips #gcses2019 #alevelresults2019 #alevels #sixthform #studyblr #studyblr #studyblrsquad #studygram #studygrammer #handlettering #calligraphy #crayolasupertips #mujo #pentel #tombow #beingapartofsomethingspecialmakesyouspecial #solarstudy https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ZaUjpBOVP/?igshid=16d08wan23xbz

update:

i am very happy

bit annoyed about english because i did slightly better in the mocks and i was 2 marks off what i wanted for both lit and lang but i’m generally over the moon !!!

[anoukostudies]

i just want to wish everyone good luck for their gcse results today! i myself have had to wake up at 3 am and receive them through email because i’m on vacation 🌱 remember, a series of numbers doesn’t determine your intelligence and whatever comes next i hope you grow and flourish from it ✨

Update: mentally and physically drained. Exhausted.

I sound really dramatic but it’s true. I’m only 1/4 thru my 16 exams and I’m already feeling shaky knees and a foggy brain 24/7. Nothings going in. The notes I’ve made only two days ago seem alien as I’m re-reading them right now. I cannot sleep and rely on sleeping pills (which is unhealthy. Don’t do this. Please). My parents don’t acknowledge all my dedication and hard work and discredit me for it, brushing it off and stating: “whatever. Its a part of life. Grow up. Get used to it.” This is the push of the stick. They’re right. It’s true. At this moment in time, I feel too tired. Too hurt. I know I will look back at this and laugh at myself for being melodramatic. But! I will get through the heaps of work. We all will. The exams will not reflect my hours of hard work and dedication, my parents will not acknowledge it either, but I know myself. We can get through this. Have a good day/night everyone. God bless you. You’ll do so great in your exams. I’m so proud of you.
