Introduction
LO 7035′Report back Week 1's diagnostic results honestly, then set this week's aim: apply everything under real conditions.
Naming the weak section out loud (as a class trend, not individuals) motivates Step 2 far better than skipping straight to new content.
Targeted Remedial
LO 70925′Use Week 1's diagnostic tally to decide which ONE or TWO sections need this slot — don't re-run everything, that defeats the point of diagnosing first.
Vocabulary or Word-Skills/Grammar weak → re-run a fresh item set in that sub-format, on the board, together.
A text section weak (Prose/Poetry/Supplementary) → re-show that text's mind-map poster, re-ask its LOT questions orally, in pairs.
Memoriter shaky → individual 30-second recitation checks of “The Listeners” while the rest of the class self-tests in pairs.
If the diagnostic showed no single weak section, use this slot for extra memoriter recitation checks instead — it's the easiest mark to lose to nerves.
Literary Writing Workshop
LO 710 · 71635′Part V asks for any ONE of two formats — students don't know which will appear, so both need a model and a practice attempt. Format compliance matters as much as content here.
Model (the textbook's own passage, Unit 3 Grammar, filled in): “The head office is in Nungambakkam. It is on College Road. As you go past the station, the office is on the right side.”
Skeleton: starting point → first landmark, with a preposition (past/opposite/next to) → turn, if any → second landmark → destination, with its position (on the right/left).
Practice: using a simple 4-landmark map (school gate → playground → office block → library), give written directions from the gate to the library.
Model skeleton: sender's address → date → salutation (“Respected Madam/Sir,”) → subject line → body (reason for leave, exact dates, the request itself) → closing (“Yours obediently,”) → name.
Practice: write a letter to your class teacher asking for two days' leave to attend a family function.
Format compliance (all required parts present) is graded before content quality — drill the skeleton first.
Full Mock Paper
LO 707 · 709 · 7162 hrsOne full-length paper, same structure and time as the real exam: Section I Vocabulary (6) · Section II Grammar/Word-Skills (17) · Section III Prose (13) · Section III Poetry (11) · Section IV Supplementary (8) · Part V Literary Writing (5). Sit it like exam day: silent, timed, notes closed, in the actual exam hall if possible.
This needs a dedicated 2-hour sitting, not a normal period — schedule it like a real exam, ideally in the last 3–4 days before the quarterly. Mock Paper A, its PDF, and the interactive Test Hub are all linked above — use whichever fits your class.
Answer Review
LO 70925′Go through the mock paper section by section, marks-first: which sections lost the most marks class-wide, right before the actual exam.
This is the last full-class teaching slot before the exam — prioritise ruthlessly.
Follow-up
LO 70310′ + homeThree exam-day tips, then one self-chosen home task matched to each student's own weakest section from Step 5.
Keep this calm and short — the mock paper already did the hard work.
