I'm sure she is doing this in your best interests, maybe she thinks the class as a whole will do better this way. Some people are better at S&L, some are better at essays.

It's a top set, I don't see the difference. Some people who don't bother to even punctuate essays are hardly going to prepare, and no matter how hard I prepare I am always a disaster. I'm never going to get an A.

Well Im sure you will do fine, have you tired asking your teacher to give you a choice?

I have quite a busy weekend with school work...gotta improve the last of my English coursework, got to prepare the remainder of my maths coursework, learn my french coursework as well as doing some past papers and learn some more lines for my drama GCSE exam!

Oh well, i'm sure i'll get it all done somehow. :)

No, but I think there is more chance of me flying to the moon than her letting me. She never lets us take essays home, even though the other top set gets to do that. So I wouldn't have the chance to write it as all the preparation time for speaking would be the homework time.

Awww well just try your best and Im sure you'll do fine

I got my monologue result yesterday and I got a C. Really don't want that going towards my final grade. The thing that annoyed me the most was that on the assessment sheet, it said something like, "If you choose to do either your media coursework or your prose coursework as an oral, ...." What choice? I don't have a choice :wall:

Well done on the C Kim!

I missed my Science coursework deadline today, we're not allowed to take our coursework home and have to complete it in class in a maximum of 2 weeks, but i failed to finish as i got to the evaluation and then time was up! Luckily, they're giving me extra time to complete it so i am very grateful! :D

I am currently planning the last of my maths coursework which is due in on Thursday and learning my drama lines, got to perform our working progress tomorrow in front of the class!

Oh, and i got my interview about alevels tomorrow where i have to decide what i want to take next year.

It really pees me off lol - this boy does like, no work and got an A. It's not the exam board on that bit - it's the stupid teacher. The other top set does coursework at home, has choices etc. You're not allowed to take it home? I thought the start of not being able to take it home was for my year.
