paragraphs, perhaps giving a short & long term view, or looking at good point and then bad points

of someone or something for example)

very important. You should return to the original question and make sure you have answered it.

why your point is relevant/important and helps you to answer the question

WHAT YOU NEED TO LEARN:

Vocabulary: learn the checklists at the end of every stage for Stages 1- 15 inclusive.

Grammar

The grammar book (in the “About” section of your Google Classroom page for Latin) should be the first port

of call but the back of your blue book is also helpful.

Here are the things you need to know and the page numbers in your textbooks.

NOUNS: you need to know the NOMINATIVE, ACCUSATIVE and DATIVE cases for puella, servus, and

mercator really thoroughly. PAGES 150-1

ADJECTIVES: You need to know the masculine and feminine models on PAGE 153. You also need to

know about comparatives and superlatives on PAGE 154-5.

Farming in Britain; The Romans in Britain; Cogidubnus

You should be familiar with all the information and pictures at the end of these stages but also with any other

pictures that appear in that stage that are relevant to the topic.

Revision Tips

12


Read through all your grammar notes again and once you feel confident that you understand the

concepts, try some of the exercises at the back of your textbooks. These will enable you to see how

well you have assimilated the concepts.

Make sure you are very familiar with all your verb and noun tables. Try chanting them out loud lots

to drum them into your head. Try writing them out as well so that you get used to the spelling. To

test your knowledge, turn to one of the stories you have read this year and see if you could identify

the tense and person for verbs (and translate) and the case and number (singular or plural) for nouns.

Do you understand what the nominative, accusative and dative are used for? Do you understand how

this affects the translation of a noun?

Try one of the stories that you did not read in class for translation practice. Alternatively, re-read one

that you wrote a translation for and then see whether you have improved by looking at your

corrections.

Adopt a “little but often” approach to learning vocabulary. Try mastering five words a night from now

on. Remember that you must know all the words in checklists 1-15 by the time of the exam! Start

learning these nice and early. With verbs especially, make sure that you could recognise them in the

perfect tense. This is why you learn the principal parts. For example, do means I give but dedi means

I gave. Would you realise that they were actually from the same verb?

Make revision notes for the background topics and learn some facts off by heart. These will come in

handy in the examination.

Maths

The best way to learn Maths is to practise questions. Below are a list of the topics covered this year, you can use your notes, Maths text book or Myimaths to revises these. You will be given plenty of other revision material in the summer term in class. Expressions, Formulae and Equations Perimeter, Area including circles Volume and Density Indices Data Handling skills Properties of quadrilaterals Percentage change & compound interest Sequences and number patterns Co-ordinates in 4 quadrants, Graphs, Drawing y=mx + c

(you will have a copy of this table in your exam paper)

Period Features Instruments

Medieval Unison. Drones. Modes. Voices, thin sounding string instruments, bells, pipes, drums.

Renaissance More tuneful than medieval music, but still modal. Church music is calm sounding with much imitation. A sense of rhythm and pulse is generally more apparent.

Lutes, recorders, crumhorns, early-trumpets called cornets. Light-sounding voiced. Church music only for voices (sounds very peaceful). Consorts of viols, sounding thinner than violins. Larger groups with drums for dances.

Baroque Continuo with harpsichord nearly always heard. Same pattern and mood throughout the entire piece of music. Terraced dynamics.

HARPSICHORD!! Flutes, oboes, bassoons, trumpets, french horns and timpani. Organs, voices.

Classical Light, tuneful, poised music with answering phrases and delayed endings. Delicate, elegant. Moods and patterns change within movements.

Fortepiano replaces the harpsichord. Clarinet joins the orchestra. The orchestra was still quite small and light-sounding.

Romantic Longer phrases, gradual and more dramatic use of dynamics. Richer, more powerful sounds. The most important aspect is EMOTION.

The trombone, tuba and harp join the orchestra, together with much more percussion. The orchestra expands in size. All instruments are modernised, including the piano.

20th Century (Modern)

Impressionism was gentle and atmospheric. Serial music can be identified by clashing sounds. Often identified by irregular rhythms. Perhaps not easy to listen to! Blues, jazz and rock and pop are syncopated, rhythmic and often improvised.

Innovative combinations of instruments. Electric instruments and even more percussion.

Jazz has piano, saxophone, double bass and drum kit. Rock and pop have drum kits, synthesizers and electric guitars.
