And when the secret underground world they have dreamed up emerges from the shadows they find themselves engulfed in mysteries far deeper and more painful than they had bargained for.

Download or read book AQA English Language Paper 1 Practice Papers written by Grainne Hallahan and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-08 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're at this point, you must be getting ready for your English language exams, so we have a few words of advice for you: Exams aren't bad. They're your opportunity to show off just how much you know about English--and you have been studying it since you were five, so you definitely know a thing or two! Don't worry about your exams--worry never changes anything--instead, try and see them as an opportunity to show off what you know. Practising exam papers is a good way to revise and, because this exam is still relatively new, there aren't that many past papers out there. The papers in this book have been created to try and replicate the exam experience for you. Some people might suggest using your literature texts for practice, but the whole point of this exam is that it is unseen: it's best to work on extracts you've never read before. There is more than one way to tackle an exam paper. You could sit it in one go and complete it in exam conditions from start to finish. You could go at the papers gently, with modelled examples in front of you to help (check out the videos at youtube.com/mrbruff). Another method is to try three question threes all in a row, slide tackling your way through the paper. You might want to complete all of the Section B questions before beginning Section A. However you do it, take your time, and use the indicative content at the end to check your work. The indicative content isn't everything. You might make a point that we haven't included. Marking your own work is quite difficult so, although these are good to practise on, you should share with someone who understands the marking system to mark your work and give you feedback. This book is not a guide to the exam: it is a set of practice papers. For a detailed question-by-question guide to AQA English language, you should pick up a copy of 'Mr Bruff's Guide to GCSE English Language' in paperback on Amazon, or eBook at mrbruff.com. Please note: we are not endorsed by or affiliated to the AQA exam board. We are simply two experienced teachers creating resources.

Download or read book The Mating Season written by P.G. Wodehouse and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: __________________________________ A Jeeves and Wooster novel 'It's hard to single out one book as the entire Jeeves and Wooster collection is Bach Rescue Remedy in literary form, but this tale of romantic imbroglio is a priceless hoot... Every sentence is a perfectly wrought delight.' Independent At Deverill Hall, an idyllic Tudor manor in the picture-perfect village of King's Deverill, impostors are in the air. The prime example is man-about-town Bertie Wooster, doing a good turn to Gussie Fink-Nottle by impersonating him while he enjoys fourteen days away from society after being caught taking an unscheduled dip in the fountains of Trafalgar Square. Bertie is of course one of nature's gentlemen, but the stakes are high: if all is revealed, there's a danger that Gussie's simpering fiancée Madeline may turn her wide eyes on Bertie instead. It's a brilliant plan - until Gussie himself turns up, imitating Bertram Wooster. After that, only the massive brain of Jeeves (himself in disguise) can set things right.

Download or read book The Slightly Awesome Teacher written by Dominic Salles and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books on teaching ask teachers to be inspirational, to operate at 100 miles an hour with creativity oozing out of every pore. Dominic Salles says that's unsustainable. But you can get brilliant results using some simple practices taken from the myriad of educational research on classroom practices. It isn't a guide to all the extra stuff you should do to become cool and awesome. It is a book that will get you to forget about teaching and think about learning: another way of saying, it will help you to stop stressing about what you do, and get the students to work harder and smarter at what they do. Dominic Salles believes that every teacher can be slightly awesome. And here he shows you how.
