RevisionPod - English revision made easy.Follow us on Twitter @GRevisionpodEvery week, Mr Forster and Mr Gallie bring you a dose of high energy revision to help you achieve the best possible marks in your English GCSE's. Each episode will look at a different question from your set texts and explore how we would analyse the language and contextual factors and how you can then use this knowledge to boost your essay writing. Click on the bio of each episode to download your GCSE RevisionPod handout, complete with the question we are discussing, the quotations and vocabulary we use in the pod and some extra contextual information. It’s time to step back, waaaaay back. So far back that you can observe the overall shape and structure of the extract.

Put down your language analysis microscope, step back and enjoy the view. Forget about the effect of individual words and phrases and think about where the writer is pointing that focus and where and why that changes. Sounds like fun.
