Writing Task
Write an account of being on stage, performing in a show.
You can base your writing on a real experience you have had, or you can make up an imaginary situation.
Think about how to make your writing enjoyable for the reader. For example, you could:
● Describe the costumes and the stage set.
● Go into detail about thoughts and feelings.
● Write about something that goes wrong, or something unexpected that happens.
Remember to use paragraphs, and to punctuate your writing so that it is easy to follow.

Section A
Argue against one of the following statements:
a) ‘Aliens do not exist.’
b) ‘Friends are more important than family.’
c) ‘Some triangles can have four sides.’
d) ‘Humans and animals are equal.’
e) ‘Stealing is always wrong.’
Section B
Write a short story on one of the following topics:
a) The other side of the mirror
b) My great grandmother
c) The walk along the motorway
Concentrate more on description and characterisation than fitting in a complicated plot. It’s fine if only one thing happens, as long as you describe it, and how it makes your character feel, in an interesting way!
Section C
Read this extract from Simon Schama’s A History of Britain.
In your own words summarise Schama’s argument.
Historians like a quiet life, and usually they get it. For the most part, history moves at a deliberate pace, working its changes subtly and incrementally. Nations and their institutions harden into shape or crumble away like sediment carried by the flow of a sluggish river. But there are moments when history is unsubtle; when changes arrive in a violent rush, decisive, bloody, traumatic; as a truck-load of trouble, wiping out everything that gives a culture its bearings –custom, language, law and loyalty. 1066 was one of those moments.
It is certainly true that, for the majority of the population of Anglo-Saxon England (let alone the rest of Britain), 1066 was mostly a matter of exchanging lords. The slaves at the bottom of AngloSaxon society who could be bought and sold could hardly have cared less what language their masters spoke. Peasants ploughed their fields, fed swill to their pigs, prayed to avoid poverty and pestilence and watched the seasons roll around.
It is true that every spring, the grass came up green again. But in 1066 there were bones under the buttercups and the entire governing class of Anglo-Saxon England, some 4000 to 5000 lords, had been made to vanish and power, wealth, men and beasts had been given to foreigners. You could survive and still be English. You could even speak the language. But politically you were now a member of an inferior race. You lived in England, but it was no longer your country.
