Robotics – English PPT Project (Year 9)
The following PowerPoint is from Arber and James for their end of semester English project. They chose Robotics as their theme and created this powerful and well constructed PowerPoint to support their presentation.
An interesting and well researched project which enables us to understand the impact of Robotics on our day to day life as well as a glimpse of the possibilities for the future. Good teamwork was observed throughout the project time period. Well done to both boys. (Grade 5+)
English and English Literature at MIST
IGCSE – English Language – (OCR 0500)
IGCSE – English Literature – (Edexcel 4360)
During the two year course, all of you will study for two IGCSE qualifications- English and English Literature. Although examined separately, these will be taught as one course during your weekly lessons of English.
IGCSE stands for International General Certificate of Secondary Education. As an international school, with many different cultures and beliefs, we feel that this course offers a greater range of opportunities and challenges that relate well to our students. The IGCSE qualifications are run by Edexcel International and Cambridge University in England and are fully recognised by universities and centres of higher education worldwide.
In the English Language component you will study a wide range of fiction and non-fiction, examining how writers construct texts, as well as extracting information for your own writing tasks. Imaginative, personal and creative writing will also be important elements of the course. You will be asked to write in a variety of ways and for different purposes, ranging from descriptive to informative and argumentative writing. Every piece of work that you complete in English could count as coursework, which makes up 50% of your final mark.
Another area of English Language that you will study is Speaking and Listening. You will be asked to use appropriate language in a variety of situations, including personal anecdotes, speechmaking and debating. You will develop an awareness of how language changes depending on situation in both speech and writing.
In the English Literature component you will read a novel, a play and a selection of poems. You will be asked questions on two of these texts in your final examination, which makes up 70% of your final mark and to write an analysis of poetry for your coursework, which makes up the remaining 30% of your final mark. There will be an emphasis on learning about the literary techniques and language used by authors as well as looking at themes and ideas in a variety of texts. You will be asked to make comparisons between texts and to relate the ideas and issues that are raised to one another.
When you receive your examination marks at the end of Year Eleven you will be awarded three final grades and three qualifications as a result of this. One grade will be for English Language and with this will be a separated Speaking and Listening grade; the third grade will be for English Literature. It is possible to be awarded different grades in all three areas.
English Language and Literature are subjects that both allow a great deal of creativity, imagination and personal writing. However, they also both require hard work and determination. With these pre-requisites we believe you have every chance for success.

English Progress Reports
Rationale:
In keeping with the National Curriculum Key Stage 3 and 4 objectives and standards I have created a simple progress report that takes each standard in English KS3 and KS4 so that the teacher can give a report which is comprehensive in nature and probably more useful to parents than the standard semester report card.
In the report the teacher is going to indicate the attainment level of the student within MIST, that is within their class. Additionally there is a mark for where the student would ‘fit’ or be rated IF they were attending school in the United Kingdom. The second grade is therefore based upon the opinion of the teacher and his/her experience in teaching NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS. It would be anticipated that in many situations the MIST grade would be higher than that of a comparison with a Native English Speaking child of the same age.
The report shows all competancies that are to be covered within year Key Stages 3 and 4. (Other teachers are encouraged to use these forms and your comments would be appreciated. If you want a pdf of these papers please write to me.)
